Listening to Leffe the elk man and watching the elk are just as much fun. Exciting and fascinating, too. A tractor and trailer take you into the elk enclosure. The elk come right up to the trailer, and you can usually pat these huge and impressive animals. Café with souvenir shop. And elves up in the loft…

Tärnsjö
The Olof Krans Museum in Tärnsjö
Museum dedicated to Olof Krans, the famous pioneer Naivist artist. He depicted the life and people of Bishop Hill in America in the 1850s. Settlers moving there marked the beginning of mass emigration from Sweden to America. Nearly 200 emigrants left the parish of Nora in Uppland with other Janssonists (members of a Swedish pietist sect) to seek religious freedom in the “Paradise on the prairie”.
