Tourist guide 2013
Welcome to Kristinehamn!
You have in your hands Kristinehamn’s tourist brochure for 2013. It has 44 pages
of ideas and tips for all the days of the year, regardless of whether you enjoy being
active or prefer to relax and take it easy.
Kristinehamn lies on the shore of the inland sea, Lake Vänern. It’s the perfect
place for fishing, travelling around the archipelago on the historical vessel
Christine af Bro, island hopping on boat bus no. 95 whilst dipping your feet in the
water, exploring, bathing, barbequing, camping or just heading out to yet another
island, or the nearby town of Karlstad, and back again.
There are lots of things for children to do: jump in the hay at the city farm; meet
the junk man Skrotnisse at Kristinehamn’s Art Museum; take a pirate trip to find
Captain One Eye’s treasure; enjoy the excitement of a ride in a double go-cart and
have fun sliding down the water chute in the town’s public swimming baths.
The Picasso sculpture is always worth a visit whatever the time of year. Other
ideas of things to do include visiting the museal general store Ölme diversehandel
to buy homemade, old-fashioned, boiled sweets; checking out the popular
silhouette of Kristinehamn made by the Nordic master potter at the pottery
Keramik hemjord and visiting the geranium museum at Niklasdam, which was
If you are the more active type you can hike along the whole, or just part of, the
Iron Trail (Järnleden) which is 30 km long and has a long history. Or maybe even
pedal a trolley bike through the forest, looking out for wildlife on the way.
You will find lots more ideas of things to do and see as you look through
the brochure and, of course, you are more than welcome to contact us at
Kristinehamn’s Tourist Office. We are at your service!

History of Kristinehamn

store Ölme diversehandel.

The world market price of iron
Foto: Pernilla Andersson, krifo.nu
Relax in the park Vågparken. Nearby there are monuments from the time when iron was at its most important.
Wahlundsgården and Torgkällan by the Varnan river,
where you also find Bildarkivet at Västerlånggatan 22.
Its location close to water and to the
route used to transport iron to Lake Vänern
resulted in the harbour and market place of
Bro becoming the town of Kristinehamn in
1642. At that time, 200 people lived in Bro.
The town’s position as a centre for exporting
timber and iron from Bergslagen was
reinforced when one of the first railways in
Sweden was built between Kristinehamn and
Sjöändan.
In the year 1633 Peter Flygge was appointed
customs officer at Bro market place. One of his
first tasks in serving the interests of the crown was
to set up a toll gate in the 2,453 m long fence that
he had built around Bro. It ran around the streets
known as Staketgatorna (the Fence Streets). The
toll gates were to the north and south, at the
ends of today’s street Kungsgatan. The gateposts
remained there until the end of the 1850s, when
they were moved to the newly built church. They
are now in the church wall, facing the street Östra
Staketgatan.
The market Fastingsmarknaden was relocated
from Karlstad to Kristinehamn in 1686. People
of authority, merchants, traders and mill owners
from far and wide added to the population of the
town for a few weeks every spring. Kristinehamn
became not only the centre for handling iron in
the county of Värmland but also the place where
the world market price of iron was fixed. Although
the Fastingmarkanden ceased in 1903, it still
exists today in the form of a fun fair and street
market, see p. 39.

Kristinehamn is known locally as Lusasken,
and many people wonder why. So here’s the true
story. In the 18th century there was no poor-law
in Sweden, which meant that the state did not
help very poor people. In Kristinehamn this was
resolved by placing three money boxes around
the town. The money collected in one of them
went to the town’s sailors and their widows. This
particular box was emptied on December 13th,
which is Lucia Day in Sweden. It’s easy to imagine
how much this meant to the sailors who lost their
jobs when Lake Vänern froze over for the winter.
The sailors used to say, “Now we’re going back
home to Lusseasken”. Someone, at some time,
had jokingly said “Lusasken”, which stuck and is
still used today.
Feel free to drop a coin in the box, which is at
the museal store Ölme diversehandel, see p. 18.
Kristinehamn’s coat of arms includes a boeier
(a traditional kind of vessel) to emphasize the
importance of shipping to the town. A full-scale
model of a boeier was built in the 1990s and given
the name Christine af Bro. It now sails on Lake
Vänern and is a popular summertime attraction.
For information of the boeier see p. 6-9.
If you interested in the history of Kristinehamn,
there are suggestions for trips to historical places
on pages 18 & 19. The photograph archives
Bildarkivet have exhibitions and 550,000 historical
photos of Kristinehamn. Study the photos from
the middle of the 19th century onwards. These
show how Kristinehamn looked at that time, and
how the town has changed.

Gurgling water
1) Vålön
On the eastern side of this island there is one of
the finest sandy beaches in the archipelago. Its
children’s play area, Sandvikarna, makes it a very
popular place for young families. Some parts of
Sandvikarna are adapted for the disabled, with
a footpath leading to the bathing ramp, toilet
facilities with wheelchair access, barbeque areas
and an information site. Vålön - Kalvön - Sibberön
are connected by a series of bridges and a 4 km
long walking trail. Wander along the path and you
will come across lovely bays and rocky beaches.

to seek shelter in case of poor weather. The island
is suitable for walking around on and for enjoying
Lake Vänern. If you are lucky you may even have
the small beach, north of the jetties, all to yourself!
6) Långön
Find your own rock to take a dip from on the
island´s own little Riviera. Seek out the channel at
Krakosundet and gaze out over Vänern.
7) Rävön
The northern part of the island is unspoilt and is a
popular bathing area. The eastern beach has some
nice, and somewhat flatter, rocky bathing areas.
8) Hammarö/Lövnäs
Hammarö Cultural Heritage Centre is at Lövnäs.
Here you find the Archepelago Museum, Hammarö
church, Hammars gård, Hammarö folklore museum
and the school museum.
9) Karlstad, Inre hamn
The harbour area welcomes you with the smell of
freshly roasted coffee in the air. Here you can see
many local people in the area around the marina
enjoying a meal or simply spending time together.

harbour. The boeier Christine af Bro has become
a reminder of the times when Kristinehamn was
Lake Vänern’s most important seaport town. It was
here that timber and iron ore were once shipped
out into the world. The boeier was launched on
4th May 2002 after 8 years of work in the dock.
This historical vessel, built in the traditional Dutch
way, is a great experience for people of all ages
who are interested in boats. From the deck you can
admire the endlessly glittering Lake Vänern, and
in the cabin you can enjoy a cup of coffee. If you
go to Karlstad or take a charter trip you will eat
off the vessel’s specially designed porcelain. From
the deck you can admire the villas from the last
century and the seemingly endless Lake Vänern.
The stairs down to the cabin are fitted with a chair
lift.
Pirate Trip with Treasure Hunt
Can you find Captain One Eye’s lost treasure? Go on
a pirate trip in Lake Vänern’s archipelago together
with Captain One Eye and the rest of the crew on
the Christine af Bro. There’s supposed to be treasure
on the bottom of the lake close to the mythical
island of Saxholmen. That’s what we are going to
find! Watch out for the canon shot. Ship ahoy! The
price includes a sandwich, ice cream and a soft
drink or coffee.
Jan Lööf-boattrip
Enjoy the boat trip to the Kristinehamn’s Art Museum where it is the time for children, see p. 16.
Coastline Trip
On the boat ride you can admire many beautiful
19th century houses and the Picasso sculpture
from the water. The ride goes back to the guest
harbour.
Cake Buffet
This is the same as the Archipelago trip above with
the added bonus of there being a cake buffet on
board. You also have the option of setting off from
Marieberg.
Blues Cruise
Blues music at sunset, incl. food, beer / wine.
Kristinehamn - Karlstad - Kristinehamn
Discover 25 nautical miles of the beautiful archipelago in Lake Vänern. This enjoyable trip on the
boeier Christine af Bro, which is a copy of a 17th
century ship, goes between Kristinehamn and
Karlstad.

2) Kalvön
The smallest of the three linked islands. There are
lots of areas here suitable for pitching a tent. The
pretty beach with smooth rocks right by the jetty
on Kalvön is perfect if you don’t like getting sand
between your toes! There is also a barbeque site
located close by.
3) Sibberön
The southernmost of the three linked islands of Vålön - Kalvön - Sibberön. This island offers wonderful
outdoor experiences, with its rocky bathing areas
and sandy beaches, wooded areas and open fields.
The large grassy area by the cabin is suitable for
playing games as well as camping. You will be sure
to find a suitable fishing spot.
4) Saxholmen
An island surrounded by myths in Kristinehamn’s
archipelago, where archeological excavations
have been carried out. In bygone times there was
a fort, or stronghold, on Saxholmen. Now only
ruins remain. The Värmland Museum in Karlstad
has many of the artifacts that were found in the
archeological excavations , see p. 40.
5) Alvön
The island’s flat rocks, with lovely smooth surfaces,
face the west and are probably unique in Vänern.
The eastern side of Alvön, facing the channel
leading to Svinön island, is best. The flat, smooth
rocks there are often deserted, waiting for eager
bathers to arrive. There is a small windbreak that is
suitable for overnight stays or as a place in which

Dear guest, welcome to life in the archipelago!
Climb on board a ferry and head out for a
beautiful island in Lake Vänern. Paddle in the
water, discover new territory, swim, light a
barbeque, pitch a tent, pull up a bucket of water
and quench your thirst before heading off to
another island.
You can also take the ferry to Karlstad, the largest
town in Värmland, to go shopping, visit museums
and have fun. The train, bus and ferry all bring
you back to Kristinehamn. Or get off at the stop
on Hammarö, and take a walk around Lövnäs, a
pretty area of cultural interest, and then take the
ferry back. We can recommend the ferry whatever
the weather: if it’s fine then you can visit the small
islands, where you can swim and walk or, if it’s
raining, you can explore the town.

at Niklasdam’s café (p. 16), or buy bread freshly
baked in the wood-fired stone oven at Nässundet
(p.29).

Sculptures
The Picasso Sculpture
Vålösundsvägen 161. Tel. +46 (0) 550 - 881 87.
It all started by chance on a dusty country
road in France where Bengt Olson, an artist
from Kristinehamn, met the Norwegian painter
and photographer Carl Nesjar. Nesjar, who
experimented with decorative work in a new
concrete-based material, was in contact with
Pablo Picasso.
”Why not in Scandinavia?” asked the Swede
and Norwegian, well aware of Picasso’s interest
in this peaceful part of the world. On his return
to Kristinehamn Bengt Olson presented the
project to the local county council. They, in
turn, contacted Picasso and sent him pictures,
recordings of traditional folk music, etc. to
illustrate the spirit of Värmland.
Confirmation from Picasso, in the form of
a deed of gift, arrived shortly after; it was a
photograph showing a model of the sculpture
in the Swedish countryside. It was signed simply
“Oui” (Yes) Picasso, 7.7.1964. Work could then
begin! The sculpture was constructed by Carl
Nesjar. Picasso followed the whole process via
films and photographs. The 15 m high sculpture
was inaugurated on Midsummer’s Eve 1965 by the
Swedish poet Bo Setterlind.
The Picasso sculpture in Kristinehamn is one of
Picasso’s biggest works of art. It is Kristinehamn’s
most famous “celebrity” and the peninsula on
which it is placed is the town’s most frequently
visited location. The road from the town centre
out to the peninsula follows the shore of Lake
Vänern, which is lined with jetties, boats and
cafés. Out here you can take a trip on one of the
many ferries that traffic the northern part of Lake
Vänern in the summer, see p. 6-9. A boat trip
also means that you can admire the sculpture
from the water! Housed in a small building
close by, photographs and plans illustrate the
process involved when the Picasso sculpture was
constructed in Kristinehamn.
Take a boat trip and admire the sculpture from the water.

Carl Nesjar’s Fountain
Brandkårsvägen 11. Tel. +46 (0)550 152 50.
Carl Nesjar, who is one of Norway’s most famous
artists, was commissioned by Pablo Picasso to
build his monumental concrete sculpture in
Kristinehamn’s archipelago in 1965.
Nesjar is a versatile artist. This particular Carl Nesjar
fountain flows all year round, so its appearance
varies according to the season. This stainless steel
monumental creation is situated next to Ölme
diversehandel & kafé, see p. 18.

Kristinehamn’s folklore museum is open all year round.
The charming museal general store Ölme diversehandel
with delicious homemade cakes.
The rune stone at Järsberg
This is one of Sweden’s oldest rune stones and
dates back to the 6th century. The stone is one
of the more mystical and has been interpreted in
several different ways. When it was discovered, it
was lying on the ground, partly covered by soil.
The stone now stands upright in the field, in
the exact same spot where it was found by the
farmer in 1862. He wanted to use it as a gatepost
but soon realized that it was something very
special!

Imagine the time when clocks were not
important, and there were neither conveyor belts
nor electrical cash registers. A time when flour
– 18 –
was not delivered to the store ready packaged
and sugar didn’t come in cubes; when ice
cream machines were not automatic and coffee
beans had to be ground manually. That time,
in the mid1800s and the hundred years that
followed, is still here. The old general store Ölme
diversehandel is a museum that takes you back
to the time you had almost forgotten about, or
maybe never experienced. There is everything
from football shoes to toys, porcelain to full
packets of cigarettes, and groceries such as flour,
cacao, washing powder, herbs, peas, coconut and
coffee, with their original contents and packaging.
You can, of course, shop in the store for gifts
including pretty serviettes, gifts, tins and baskets,
as well as linen goods and jackets.
The café always serves freshly brewed coffee
and tea, sandwiches, biscuits and cakes. From the
outdoor seating area, which has a view over the
town, you can listen to the soothing sound of Carl
Nesjar’s fountain (p.17).

The Manor Gustafsviks herrgård
Hjälmarsnäsvägen.
Lieutenant Colonel Georg Adlersparre,
commander of the Swedish western army,
instigated an uprising against King Gustaf IV
Adolf when he occupied Karlstad and then
marched on to Stockholm. On his way to the
capital Adlersparre, then 49 years old, was invited
to Gustafsvik by Capten C.A. Linroth, where he fell
in love with the 24 year old daughter of the house.
Their wedding took place in 1809 and the couple
become the new owners of Gustafsvik. Their
fourth child, Rudolf, who was born in 1819, later
took over the manor. He also built a cemetery in
which the Adlersparre family grave is located.
Kristinehamn’s church in the town centre is even more
beautiful in the monlight.

Järnleden
The Iron Trail - a walk of cultural and
historical interest, with roots in the 15th century.
In 1413 a letter of patent was drawn up by the Nordic king, Erik of
Pommern, that allowed iron ore to be extracted in the mining area of
Värmland. In the middle of the 16th century it was the king of Sweden, Gustav Vasa, who realized the value of iron and its importance to
both Sweden and Värmland. As well as the state needing income, his
goal was to break the trading monopoly enjoyed by the German Hanseatic League. An infrastructure was necessary in order to transport
the iron from the mines that were being opened to Lake Vänern. It
was then that the Iron Trail between Hytte and the harbour
in Kristinehamn was constructed.
The Iron Trail is a 30 km long
authorized Värmland trail that
starts from the northern edge
of Kristinehamn. The trail is
well marked and runs through
varying countryside, passing
places of cultural interest. You
will pass by small lakes, ponds,
ruins of old mines, mansions,
open landscape and, finally, end
up in a harbour environment
where a boeier lies anchored
(www.bojorten.se).
Welcome to Kristinehamn
– a part of Värmland
