Gunnars Karusell

Gunnar’s Carousel is a small, unique carousel in the forest near Drängsered in Hylte Municipality, Halland. It was built in 1974 by local craftsman Gunnar Karlsson as a place for children to play and have fun.

​

Over the years, the carousel has become a much-loved local spot, especially for families with children. Set in the forest, it is a simple but special place where people can spend time outdoors, play, and enjoy nature.

​

I’m now working to give the carousel a new look through colorful painting, hand-painted decorations, new illustrated panels, and other visual improvements inspired by the surrounding forest and local folklore.

​

The project is made possible with support from Hylte Municipality, Wilhelm & Martina Lundgrens Understödsfond, and Torups Byggshop, who are helping with the materials needed for the work.

​​

The aim is to preserve this special place and make it even more inviting for the local community and for visitors discovering the inland of Halland.
