Strömsund is the secondlargest town in Jämtland, 100 km north of Östersund and just five kilometres from the Ulriksfors train stop. Here the waterfalls cascade down from the mountains, through graceful valleys with fairytale forests and lush agricultural villages. The area gained fame throughout Sweden as a result of Beppe Wolgers’ film Dunderklumpen. On your journey with Inlandsbanan you will go past the centre of Hoting, where events include a market in June, a trotting week in July and a car meet in August. Do pay a visit to other places, such as Hammerdal, Gäddede, Backe and Rossön. Don’t forget the mountain bus that takes you to our beautiful mountain landscape.

Learn about our traditions
What is it we remember most about our travels? Well, the things we’ve seen, heard, smelled and tasted, of course. Up here, nature is our big larder. Up on the mountains there is grouse and reindeer, in the forests there is game such as elk and bear, in the rivers and lakes there is game fish such as salmon trout and char, but also perch, hake, grayling and whitefish. Traditions and artisan cooking are very much alive and well here, with prize-winning cheeses and soft whey butter, well-baked flatbread, delicious delicatessen products, eggs from happy hens and ostriches, prison crisp rolls…
Handicraft is an old tradition in Strömsund. This is evident from the range of crafts around, including smithies, potteries, furniture makers, artists and carpenters. There
are a number of successful small-scale artisan food businesses. For those looking to satisfy more than their palate, a trip down the Road of the Senses may be a revelation. In Hammerdal and surrounding villages, various craftspeople are holding open house for a few weeks in the summer. Farm dairies, egg producers, a smithy, a bakery and a joinery are some of the places you can visit.
