Östersund, 50 km from Stugun, is a town in the county Jämtland, about exactly in the middle of Sweden. Around the town there is unlimited access to the great outdoors with a wild nature. Water, mountains and forest can be seen all around. In the lake Storsjön you could, if you are lucky, see the monster that is protected by law (read about it). Storsjön has its main inflow from the Indalsälven where water gathers from the mountain streams and rapids. The clean, clear water gives the lake its character and makes for numerous leisure time activities, fishing, paddling/canoeing.
The town offers cafés, pubs, out door cafés and restaurants. And during summer Jamtli History land, a unique in- outdoor museum, gives you an opportunity to relive Swedish history and the Laplanders history.
