Description

Loberget Fire Tower was built by the county administration in 1935 near Botsmark, Sweden. According to the nomination “two ladies managed the fire guard.” After World War II, the use of lookouts were discontinued and air patrols took over. In 1967 the 50’ tower and groundhouse was turned over to a local club called “Friluftsfrämjandet” for its use and maintenance. It is a popular destination for hikers, cross country skiers, and “scooters.”
