In many places around the country, Valborg is celebrated, but Hotel Nova in Karlstad can highly recommend getting to the Mariebergsskogen, which is the most popular city park in Karlstad and offers a pleasant and exciting Valborg evening.
Valborg – the first spring party in Sweden – is a very old feast, which came from Germany during the Middle Ages. Valborgs evening falls on April 30th and is celebrated by lighting large fireplaces outdoors to clean out the winter once and for all. Many see Valborg as a symbol of spring and light.
Mariebergsskogen is a very popular excursion destination among tourists and locals alike. Here you will find Naturum Värmland, the zoo Lillskogen and the round trip train. There are always lots of fun activities to choose from, so it is certain that large and small people will enjoy the park. More information about Mariebergsskogen is available here.
