Elvarheim Museum

Here you can see the four largest Scandinavian carnivores: bear, wolf, wolverine and lynx and smaller predators, birds. New 2015:  beaver exhibition.

Elvarheim museum is situated close to the old stone bridge in the center of Åmli in the beautiful community building from 1925. Here you also find the hiking track up to Trogfjell mountain and a nice bathing spot.

Elvarheim museum focuses on the utilization of the forest and human harvesting of natural ressources.

This year we proudly present a brand new beaver exhibition. You will also find traps, trapping equipment and other things that bear witness of human exploitation of nature in the past and present.
