On a wooded ridge northwest of Kramfors, a small clearing marks the place where one of the largest mass executions of the Swedish witch trials took place in 1675. A simple stone memorial and information board sit at the spot, reached by a marked forest path of about a kilometre from the road.
The walk through the spruce forest to the clearing is genuinely atmospheric — quiet, dim under the canopy, with little to remind you that you are anywhere near a town. The memorial itself is restrained, which feels appropriate for what happened here.
