đ BĂ„stnĂ€s Car Cemetery đ
đ ïž A unique meeting đ ïž
between history and nature
BÄstnÀs Car Cemetery is located on the border between Norway and Sweden in the municipality of à rjeng and is a unique historical destination. The site was established by brothers Rune and Tore Ivansson in the 1950s. At that time, there were restrictions on car purchases in Norway, and many people struggled to find car parts. The brothers saw an opportunity to fill this need and started a business for buying and selling used car parts.
From their strategic location on the border, they could easily obtain cars from Sweden and sell the parts to the Norwegian market. This made BÄstnÀs an important hub for car enthusiasts and repairers in the region.

đł Nature’s grip on cars đł
Over time, nature has taken over the cars in the car cemetery. Rusty cars covered in moss, lichen and young trees have created an unforgettable landscape. The cars slowly melt into the forest, creating a fascinating contrast between machine and nature.
For many visitors, walking through the area brings a sense of nostalgia and tranquility. Each car tells its own story and provides a unique insight into a bygone era.
đ Environmental reflections đ
BÄstnÀs also raises environmental debate. The cars, which slowly rust and disappear into the forest, can release chemicals that negatively affect the environment. This has led to discussions about whether the area should be cleaned up or preserved as part of the cultural heritage.
Clean-up can be a challenge, as it would disrupt the ecosystem of the forest. The question then becomes: What is the right choice for the future?
