The site includes more than 50 rock areas with more than 2,500 Bronze-Age carvings. 3,000 years ago these symbols were chipped into the soft stone and it is believed that Högsbyn was a sacred location, used for religious ceremonies.
           
Near the site is the old farmhouse, with a cafe and exhibit inside, where you can also book a guided tour. It is beautifully situated by the shores of lake Råvarpen. Högsbyn is in the southern part of Bengtsfors, about ten kilometres north of Håverud.

There are several ways to get to Tisselskog. By bicycle or car you reach Högsbyn via the scenic Brudfjällsvägen road, which runs between Tisselskog and Håverud. Both the Sverigeleden (the bike route running the length of the country) and the Dalslandsleden (the bike route in Dalsland) pass through here. In summer the tourist trains on the Dalsland – West Värmland railway (Mellerud-Bengtsfors) stop at Tisselskog, and the passenger boat M/S Dalsland makes daily trips to the rock carvings at Högsbyn.
