Keep that summer coming…

Close your eyes at any time of the day. Listen to the rustling of the wind. Breathe in and fill up your lungs and relax completely. Gone are your daily worries.

The days are extra long. Around 25 June, the sun hardly sets. The one hour that it does, it is only slightly dim. The temperatures are lovely and so you can enjoy the outdoors on and off, and extra long.

You can enjoy hiking here in all seasons, but especially in summer.

The landscape of Jämtland Härjedalen invites to be discovered. So there is a lot to do on foot. You will find hundreds of kilometres of marked hiking trails here: from quiet day trips to challenging hikes. Who knows, you might spot
one of the wild animals such as a moose, bear or reindeer. You will find many easy walks here, but there is also plenty to hike for the more adventurous hikers.

A great fishing destination

What could be better than enjoying a home-caught fish on the barbecue at the end of the day? In Sweden, it can be done. The Hungesjon, and the many other lakes nearby, are rich in fish. Among other things, you can hook trout, perch, roach and pike here. However, you do need a fishing licence and certain rules apply to some fish.

Canoeing or kayaking

The many beautiful and serene lakes invite you to go canoeing or kayaking. Bring a picnic basket and set off in peace. Enjoy hours and then dock at a grill hut for an extended fika. What more could you want.

Swimming in crystal-clear water

The clear waters and many small beaches invite you to take a refreshing dip. Jetties have been constructed in many places and with the possibility of literally taking a dip. About 200 metres from Hus Hotell Hunge, you can walk in shallow water into the lake and eventually take a refreshing dip.

Wildlife spotting

The Jämtland Härjedalen region is a walhalla for all kinds of wildlife in summer. While enjoying nature, it is fun and exciting to listen extra carefully and look around to see if you might spot a reindeer, moose, lynx or even a bear! Especially early in the morning and as night falls, you have a chance of seeing a wild animal. If that unfortunately doesn’t work out, you can always go to Moose Garden where you can meet moose up close.

Explore the surroundings by bike

Experience nature intensely on a bicycle! The area around Hunge offers various options for both recreational and sporty cyclists. The area also lends itself to the more daring mountain bikers. If you have your own bike with you, touring a city by bike is also worthwhile.
