Brattforshedens krigsflygfält

The museum contains preserved World War II military structures, including concrete machine gun posts, camouflaged hangars, and an operational runway in the Värmland forest.

During 1939-1945, this location served as one of forty secret emergency airfields constructed in Sweden, remaining the only preserved example of these wartime installations.

The site maintains original military buildings designed to blend with civilian architecture, featuring hangars painted as barns and barracks decorated with trompe-l'oeil window curtains.

Visitors can access multiple hiking trails, climb an observation tower for panoramic views, and schedule guided tours or flight simulator experiences through advance reservations.

The airfield employed an intricate camouflage system using varied grass types and coal cinders arranged in patterns to simulate agricultural land when viewed from above.
