Östergötland County

Eda Municipality is a regional district in Värmland, central Sweden, that borders Norway and is characterized by forests, lakes, and scattered communities. Its administrative center, Charlottenberg, serves as the connecting point for these settlements and local functions.

The municipality was formed in 1971 through a merging of three former administrative districts, bringing together Eda, Köla, and Järnskog under a single governance structure. This reorganization reflected broader national reforms aimed at streamlining local administration.

Charlottenberg serves as the community hub where daily life revolves around local services and connections to the surrounding Värmland region. The border location with Norway has historically shaped the identity and culture of those living in this area.

Visitors can find basic services and facilities in Charlottenberg including shops, dining options, and fuel stations for practical needs. The region is best explored by car due to the dispersed layout of settlements across the wider landscape.

Eda Fortlet is a fortress from the 1600s that now operates as a museum displaying military objects and historical artifacts from the region. It sits at the cultural boundary between Sweden and Norway, reflecting the strategic importance of this border area.
