Fluggtjärnen, Rosfors Ekopark (Skogsrået)

The wind shelter is located right by Fluggtjärnen and was built as part of the architecture festival Arknat 2026.

The sculptural form of the wind shelter is inspired by Nordic folklore and depicts a forest witch, the mythical guardian of the forest. As in the legends, she is beautiful from the front but with a hollow back.

Anyone who climbs onto her back becomes part of the design and forms the head of the forest witch and can at the same time enjoy the view over Fluggtjärnen.

The wind shelter is reached on foot via a signposted forest path.
