Svartberget site is located in the northern Swedish boreal forest, about 70km west of the Gulf of Bothnia. Ridges, valleys, rivers and lakes stretching from northwest to southeast characterize the landscape and the tower is situated on a gentle slope towards southeast. Spruce and pine forests dominate the landscape land use with some minor agricultural fields, mostly along the river valleys and closer to the sea.
