Editing Ljusdal Municipality (section)

== Geography ==
Geographically the town is located on the shores of the river [[Ljusnan]], along the shores of which Sweden's northern main line railway (''[[Norra Stambanan]]'') stretches. The municipality calls itself "Sweden's nearest Norrland", with [[Norrland]] being  historically how Sweden's north was referred to. Geographically, the municipality is located at the centre of Sweden.

In this large municipality (Sweden's 25th largest) there are several nature activities one can enjoy. Along Ljusnan there are a total of 40 kilometers of water ways, with possibilities for sailing, rafting, fishing or taking a tour with the tour boats.
[[Hamra National Park]] is also located partly within the western parts of the municipality.
