Shopping

Go to the shopping mall in Charlottenberg or Töcksfors, or why not take a longer trip to the wonderful cities of Oslo or Karlstad?

Oslo

Oslo is located about 140 km from Charlottenberg. If you don't feel like taking the car, you can always go by train from Charlottenberg. In Oslo you can visit museums like the Fram museum, Kon-Tiki museum or Munch museum. Take a walk on Aker Brygge or in the park Vigelandsparken, or go shopping on the main street of Oslo, Karl-Johan, which also leads right up to the castle. You can easily get to most places in Oslo by foot, but you can also take the subway or the tram.

Mariebergsskogen

Mariebergsskogen is a very beautiful park i Karlstad, preserving cultural buildings, a small zoo for the kids, an open air theatre, walking trails, a bathing area and an ice-skating ring during the winter, and a huge playground for the kids, all for free. There is also Naturum, a building that works like an educational centre with information about animals and nature.

Rottneros Park

Rottneros Park in Sunne is a beautiful park devoted to the Swedish author Selma Lagerlöf. For the children there's a great adventure park that involves themes of Selma's most famous children's books.
