On the road 272 between Ockelbo and Lingbo on the border between the two Swedish landscapes Gästrikland and Hälsingland in the north direction on the right side of the road there is an approximately 3 to 4 m high silhouette of the heraldic animal "Hälsingebocken" from Hälsigland. The silhouette was made of weatherproof sheet metal (presumably aluminum). There is a sign under the trestle, which indicates that "the Hälsingland begins here".

Unfortunately, it was not possible to find out who made the work of art and when it was installed.
