Geography

Skogheim is located at the confluence of two rivers: the River Skogheim and the River Borealis.

Bridges

There are three bridges crossing the rivers in central Skogheim. These include the Conifer Bridge, the first structure constructed in the town, the Borealis Bridge, carrying Conifer Road over the River Skogheim, and a third as of yet unnamed bridge. A fourth bridge was recently constructed in the Edsbyn district, appropriately named the Bougie Bridge.

Forest

The southwest of Skogheim is comprised mostly of boreal forest; in fact, the landmark of Skogheim is a pine tree bestowed with the title "home of the forest".

White Hill

Easily accessible from the Borealis District in Central Skogheim, White Hill is the highest natural point in the city and serves as both a nature preserve and a viewing outlook. It served as a Pit Stop in the penultimate leg of The Amazing Race 11. Access is located between the Skogheim Town Hall and Skogheim Central Station.
