Vemdalen Hostels - Hostel List for Vemdalen, Sweden

There is much to see and do all year round in the friendly wilderness of Vemdalen. Situated on the mountain slopes by thetree line, and only around 1 km from each other, are three large mountain establishments, very different in character and look. There is luxurious Bjornrike, classical Vemdalsskalet and Storhogna with its winter gardens. In the valley far below is Vemdalen with Veman river. Vemdalen is a charming little village. Its central feature is an interesting octagonal rococo timber church, built in 1763. There is also a heritage farm with buildings several hundred years old. Many festivities take location here Midsummer festivals, music evenings, handicraft exhibitions, heritage festivals etc. Visit the small town market, which is open every Thursday in July, and for one whole week in August. Vemdalsveckan festival and Flygets Dag (Aviation Day) take location in week 28. The Country Festival and the Propaganda trotting races also take location in August. Try local specialities such as flotgrot porridge, kolbullar dumplings and tunnbrod bread. South of the small town further down the valley lies VemhAn. There is an old customs and excise station from 1867 at Sommlingsbacken. Here, the local homespun materials were stamped for tax. This is now the station of its kind left in Sweden. At Busklandet, visitors will find excellent natural bathing. Harjedalens first wind powered electricity plant is situated in Rodovalen, and StorvAnd tjarn is a veritable anglers paradise, complete with barbecues and shelters.
