Learn about the great land uplift and the national park
Little time left for cultural activities and experiences? Then you’ve come to the right place. Dream away among gleaming mahogany leisure boats or marvel at 750 clocks in a barn. There is much to see in the High Coast’s museums and art galleries.

Ådalen’s industrial museum
Sandslån
The floating museum at Sandslån is facing a transformation. Together with the newly started association Ådalens Industrimuseum, Kramfors municipality will renew the exhibitions in the historic Imperial Palace. This summer is perhaps the last chance to visit the old exhibitions about the floating and sorting era at Sandslån 1872-1982! The association’s goal is for Ådalen’s Industrial Museum to become a hub and a meeting place for those who want to discover Ådalen’s industrial landscape. The museum is aiming for a new premiere with updated exhibitions in the summer of 2022.
The museum is open June-August every day 10am-5pm. www.adalensindustrimuseum.se
