The real forest of Ödmården that is fictionalized in the upcoming norse dark fantasy horror film "DRAUG".

Eyskógamörk (or Ödmården) is an ancient forest on Sweden's east coast, traditionally dividing the north from the south.
According to Ketil Hœng's Saga the forest was twenty rest stops deep and made for an evil journey.

Therein roamed outlaws, praying on any travellers daring to tread its dark paths. There were also plenty of wolves, bears and other beasts. All of this created a breeding ground for stories and myths of darksome origin.

When you came out on the other side of Ödmården you were in Hälsingland. Which in the old days was the name of about everything north of that forest.

In the 11th century the Archbishopric of Bremen sent six missionaries to Sweden. One of them, Stenfinn (or Simeon to the church), travelled to Hälsingland.

In his eagerness to spread the word of God he commenced vandalizing the pagan temples near the northern border of Ödmården.
After tearing the idols off the walls of the pagan temple in Söderala he enraged the native heathens so much he had to flee south.
They finally caught up with him in the middle of Ödmården, where they stoned him to death.

Nearby a permanent resting place was built. An inn where you could rest your feet and quench your thirst before venturing further.

Tönnebro Värdshus stands right by European Route E4 which was built upon the old Norrstigen (the North Trail). The main path through Ödmården.

A particularly accident-ridden passage south of Tönnebro has been nicknamed "The Road of Death" by the locals.
No wonder, they say. Being built right over a vitterstråk (a vættir wight passage).

The storied forest may have shrunk,
but its myths are still very much alive.
