I do like abandoned places. I share the fascination with various bloggers, travlers, historians etc. out there. I have visited a couple of mines so far and when mom and I headed for Norway, I said, ”We must see the car cemetary of Töcksfors”. So we went. Arriving in Båstnäs at the car cemetary it is like time stopped in the 50s. The car that was popular at this time is spread out in nature and works as an art installation in the middle of Värmlands deep forests.

To see more photos from this site visit other Urban Explorers webpages or others such as: Jan Jöhrnmark or the Municipality of Årjäng.

Directions: Coming from Karlstad you take E18 towards Oslo. When in Töcksfors you turn left heading for Västra Fågelvik (you see a church on the right side of the road when turning). You continue on this road for around 25 km, never exiting just driving straight ahead. After 25 km you reach the sign “Här slutar allmän väg” and that is when you are at the car cemetary of Båstnäs.

Vägbeskrivning: Ta E18 från Karlstad mot Oslo. I Töcksfors, sväng vänster mot Västra Fågelvik (du ser en kyrka på högersidan av vägen). Fortsätt på denna väg ca 25 km, lämna aldrig denna väg utan fortsätt. Efter 25 km kommer du att se en skylt ”Här slutar allmän väg”, och då är du framme på bilkyrkogården i Båstnäs.

I hope you enjoy this little piece of urban exploring from Värmland. To check out my other adventures: Exploring Bergslagen – Mossgruvan, The old mine Stripa in Bergslagen – Sweden.
