An introduction to Dalsland

Dalsland is a province off the beaten path. It is varied, with a fertile southeast and southwest, and more hilly otherwise. The northern part have lots of lakes. Dalsland is less populated than the rest of Götaland, with Åmål as its only city. The rest of Dalsland is very rural. What you will find is lots of nature, including some of the few remaining areas of old-growth forest in this part of Scandinavia, large oak woods, hundreds of lakes and ancient burial grounds. The provincial tourism motto for Dalsland, "you will not feel crowded here" is therefore very true. === Municipalities === Åmål GPS: 59.05,12.7, with some 9,000 inhabitants it is the largest settlement in the province.
