Title A name given to the resource Värmland Type The nature or genre of the resource Landscape Description An account of the resource The historical province of Värmland in Sweden has a long, rich history of both natural and cultural heritage, which has often been intimately intertwined with one another. Within the deep, mythical forests and lakes, the old storytelling tradition in Värmland permeates almost all traditions and practices in the region. Famously the Swedish Nobel Laureate in Literature, author Selma Lagerlöf, grew up in Värmland and the region’s presence in her work is deeply imbued in not only the legends and places she writes about, but also the characters and their cultural identities. Värmland stands out as a place of large stretches of forest which slopes down into long and narrow lakes that connect into rivers like Klarälven. In these forests and by these rivers, arts and craft traditions have grown. Today, Värmland is well known for its many artisans in different areas such as ceramics, textiles, literature and music. Its rich cultural heritage is a point of pride and defines everyday life in the region. Below you may explore some of Värmland’s cultural heritage through tangible and intangible examples.
