Forsbacka Bruk

Beautifully situated between Gävle and Sandviken, Forsbacka is one of Sweden’s best-preserved mill towns – perfect for a day trip filled with culture, nature and great food.

Information

Here, you can wander among buildings from the ironworks’ heyday, peek inside a 1920s home, and join guided tours that bring history to life. Enjoy a coffee at the charming Café Labbis, explore art exhibitions and events – or unwind in the English park, go paddling on Lake Storsjön or try your hand at traditional skittles.

The food experiences are something special too: Forsbacka Wärdshus serves classic flavours in a historic setting, Restaurang Robin Hood offers hearty Swedish fare with a local touch, and down by the water you’ll find Storsjökrogen – perfect for a sunny lunch outdoors.

If you’d like to stay the night, Forsbacka Wärdshus also offers hotel rooms, making it easy to extend your visit and soak up everything the area has to offer.

Forsbacka Bruk is a living heritage site where tradition meets innovation – and every visit becomes a journey through both time and taste.
