The Destination:
Husky Holiday is located in Munkflohögen, 55 km north of Östersund,
in the heart of Jämtland, Sweden.
Munkflohögen
Munken (the monk) was founded in 1768. The legend tells about a monk who
drowned rolling down a little hill into a stream on his way from the nearby monastery
to the market in Föllinge.
Today, teams of huskies glide across these heights
in the winter and horses graze there in the summer. |

2. Drive to Fredrikshavn in Denmark and take the ferry to Göteborg in Sweden. Then drive on to Östersund. This option is a popular one.
