Harnäs village has some early 19th century buildings which were erected for the Harnäs iron mill. The original mill closed in 1911 but the pulp mill nearby remains an important regional employer.

This marker marks the official administrative boundary between the counties of Uppsala and Gävleborg, thus marking the political border between Norrland and Svealand. North of this line in Sweden the population density drops. Expect more straight roads through vast forests if travelling north, expect more farmland and shorter distances between towns if travelling south.
