RAILROAD MUSEUM

EKSHÄRAD
Ekshärad's church from the 17th century has many objects from the 13th century. There are also unique forged grave crosses in the cemetery. Ekshärad has also one of the few stave churches in Sweden, even though it is a copy. Do not miss the homestead ...
KLARÄLVSBANAN & -LEDEN
This cycle path takes you from Karlstad to Uddeholm over the old railway embankment (90 km paved). From Uddeholm, the trail goes 120 km to Sysslebäck, along the Klarälven over asphalt and gravel roads in Värmland's northern wilderness.
SWIMMING & FISHING
There are many bathing places to choose from in Hagfors municipality, even a sandy beach called Värmlands riviera. With a fishing license you can enjoy fine fishing in more than 100 waterways. Everything from perch, pike, char, trout to salmon etc.
Around the Manor you can walk different loops, ranging from 1 to several kilometers, through the forest, along lakes and the Uvån river & canal. They are unmarked, but we are happy to give advice and show you where to go.
A few hundred meters from the B&B Hotel you will find a large lake. Here you can picnic, fish and even take a dip. Or you just muse at the edge and enjoy nature. The lake is also the end point of the canoe trip. If you walk along the canal that starts from the lake and go all the way to the end, you come to an old power station called Malta. Behind the station there is a nice lookout point over Uvån. You can go back to the manor through the forest over a path where there was a small railroad in the 19th century when Geijersholm was still a mining community with its own smithy.
Within 1 hour from the manor there are several resorts for alpine and cross-country skiing.
Säfsen: in Dalarna but only 45 minutes from Herrgården
Maybe you don't want to pay dearly for staying at the resort itself or you want to avoid a lot of people or you want to try different facilities or maybe it is fully booked .... then staying with us is the perfect choice! Combine it with a local winter activity (for example snowshoe hiking or dog sledding) for a wonderful winter experience.
