Eida Forest

The Eidawald is a border forest between Norway (in the south of Fylke Innlandet ) and Sweden ( Värmland ).

The oldest tradition about this border is the Heimskringla of Snorri Sturluson , who reports around 1230 that a wealthy farmer, Brinijolfur Ulfbaldi, the Norwegian pretender to the throne Oluf Haraldson , only surviving son of Erik II (Denmark) , described the border as follows: " the Gotha-Elf makes the border from Wenersee to the sea, and in the northern plain the Eidawald, and from there to Finnmarken the Kolen Mountains.
