Värmland, Historical province in west-central Sweden
Värmland spans 18,164 square kilometers across west-central Sweden, containing approximately 10,000 lakes and extensive forest regions between Lake Vänern and the Norwegian border.
The province shifted from Norwegian control in the 13th century to Swedish recognition, later becoming part of Svealand in 1815 after previously belonging to Götaland.
The region produced notable Swedish authors including Selma Lagerlöf and Gustaf Fröding, whose literary works drew inspiration from local landscapes and traditions.
Karlstad, the provincial capital, functions as the main transportation hub with regular train and bus connections to Stockholm, Oslo, and Gothenburg.
The Klarälven River flows 460 kilometers through Värmland, enabling traditional timber rafting experiences where visitors construct and navigate their own wooden vessels.
