ground.
There are great fishingwaters,
in the summer as in the winter, with brooks, rivers, tarns and lakes. The
nature is beuatiful with large woods, mountains and swamps. Berry-picking
is very popular. Here we have blueberry, cowberry and cloudberry. Experience the
wilderness from a bike, canoe, boat or by foot. There are many miles of snowmobile-
and skiingtracks.
   
Food for larger groups of people can
be arranged at the community center in Överhogdal. You must make your order in a good
time before your visit.
 
Staying for a larger group, of up to 30 people, and for
you who wants to stay where you get served food, we recommend the tavern Wärdshuset Knoppergården
in Ytterhogdal. In Ytterhogdal you also have Petterssons Kiosk och Brazzerie
and Hogdals Krogen
if you are hungry. Ytterhogdal is the central place in the Community of Hogdal. It is 15
km from Överhogdal.
