NATURE
Hiking in the mountains, looking
for tracks of our fourlegged friends: elk, red deer, bear, fox, marter, beaver,
wolf, badger,
Quartz is made into fine jewelry here: Stenhyddan is "the
place to be".
Some might find the peace to throw a line and taste the delicious fish. One
can fish here all summer- and winterlong. Take a canootrip
on the Hoan or even flyfishing. There´s a lot of water around
here, the lakes are very tempting for a dive after a long mountainhike. Also
during the winter you can enjoy hiking and/or scootertrips. Our local
guides know the area as there pockets and recognize tracks from afar. There
is a whole network of scootertracks which you can follow till Lappland.
Take some sausages and buns and make a campfire to grill your hunger
away or a fish you just caught.
Imagin how this will taste?
For those who don´t want to motorize themselves into the mountains, you
can cross-country which will allow you to listen to the silence or look
at natures beauty. For those hunters among you, we have plenty of chances
here. We have a lot of people who like to share their knowledge with you, they
are locals who can cross this country as no other, know secret places, where
the bears are sleeping, read tracks from afar, pick the right places to drink
a cup of tee, all here in the highest landscape and the middle of Sweden, Härjedalen.
Make friends and get jealous at these naturespecialists. At the museum
you can take a look att a story off a boy who used a piece of fabric to
clean in the local church. After all these years they found out this fabric
is over 1000 years old and they are tapestries. In Forngård
you can look at the exhibition. They even have reconstructed the weaving
technic they used in those days. This technic is still used by local people
in the village.
Children encounter warm or cold days by playing outside or use the gymhall.
These activities can be an experience in your life if you visit Överhogdal. Of course there is no obligation at using guides but we do recommend them, getting lost is not something you want to do around here.
There is a lot to see and explore, to learn
and to do in `t Hoogdael, and if I may say, it is not the most common offer,
or is it?
