A little sightseeing trip to Strömsund

A closer look at our county town of Strömsund (population ca 2.500). This small town has it´s charming places, great pizza and some cool history - a pleasant way how to spend a few hours or an afternoon.

Our guests and visitors can experience the same as we did, when we took a short sight-seeing "tour" with one of our huskies - Krtek:
Entrace to the outside museum with old buildings from Stroms-Vattudal area

At the water fontain park infront of Strömsund´s beautiful church


Taking a walk around the church gardens and cemetary

The area´s historical buildings - log houses and cabins at the homestead museum



The giant "Jorm" - a character from famous Swedish movie for children "Dunderklumpen". The story was written by Beppe Wolger, Strömsund´s favourite, who lived and composed at the Öhn village on Stömsund´s island. Beppe is known worldwide not just for his stunning stories, that were filmed, but also for acting in the movie "Pippi Longsock" as Pippi´s father.



Jachym and Krtek posing infront of the bridge and fontain.

This year the water in Vattudalen is quite low, so the dock and beach are quite visible.


Krtek enjoyed the walk thoroughfully.
