Korallgrottan (The Coral Cave) – The longest cave in Sweden
It’s quiet. And dark. The only sound is a distant dripping and the only thing I feel is a soft wind against my cheek. The world stands still until our guide starts speaking. We are in the so called Sandbädden (The Sand Bed), the first cave chamber included in the Korallgrottan cave tour, where […]

Storsjöodjuret – The Great Lake Monster
We do not know exactly what lake Storsjöns bottom structure looks like, but we do know that the bedrock and the soils around the lake contribute to the fact that the lake has a high production of fish and is resistant to acidifying deposits.

The fog comes and goes while the silhouettes of […]

Do not miss the summer grazing farm, shieling, by the […]
Horseback Riding on a Ranch in the Swedish Mountains
Trumvallen is an old summer farm, a shieling, just a few kilometers from the Vemdalen Ski Area. The summer farm is a group of sun kissed log houses in different shades of grey with the beautiful backdrop of the Härjedalen mountains and pine forests. One of the houses holds a ranch where you can go […]

Local supporter Elisabeth Rolandsson, who works as a guard during the matches, felt it was a shame that large parts of the audience did not understand the […]
