Wool History and Local Life

The Tidstrands wool factory is centrally located in the village and is used as an industrial heritage site. The Sågmyra Hembygdsmuseum tells the story of its heyday; among other things, you can see wool felt designed by Viola Gråsten and Sigvard Bernadotte, and children’s blankets with fairy-tale motifs. A local description lists staffed opening hours on Saturdays and Sundays from 12 noon to 3 p.m. Check the current hours before visiting. Sågmyra kyrka was built at the initiative of parish members and inaugurated in April 1970. It is described as having a hearing loop and accessible facilities; you should nevertheless check individual accessibility directly.

Trails, Water and Events

The Ylleleden trail runs through Sågmyra. The Vrebroströmmen flows through the village and has power stations. Årbobadet is a named swimming spot; this does not indicate current water quality or conditions. The illuminated trail was established in 1979 and extended in 2004. North of the village, a recurring three-kilometre fell race climbs Hackmoraberget; it is described as taking place on the second Sunday in October. You should confirm the date of each year’s event. Those planning a longer hike on the Kyrkleden leave Falun Municipality at Vidåsberget, north of Sågmyra, and head towards Leksand.
