Jamtland Attractions
Jämtland, a mountainous region in central Sweden bordering on Norway, is one of the last unspoiled areas of natural landscape in Europe. Only 1.4% of this forest-covered territory is under cultivation. With its great expanses of lush green pasture, its crystal-clear waters and its snow-capped peaks, Jämtland offers attractions to visitors in both summer and winter.
Here animals threatened with extinction, including bears, gluttons and martens, live undisturbed, and Jämtland's 3,000 lakes and streams contain many species of fish to attract the angler. The best months for fishing the mountain streams are July and August; in the forest regions June is preferable.

Hammarstrand
East of Östersund (Road 87) is Hammarstrand, situated in the Ragunda valley at the foot of the Kullstaberg. From the lookout terrace on this hill there is a fine view of the Indalsälv, which was a lake, 15m/50ft deep, until a channel for rafts was opened in 1796, when the lake disappeared within four hours.
