Östra Arådalen

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Huts on the Östra Arådalen mountain pasture

Östra Arådalen is an alpine pasture settlement in the Arådalen valley in the historic Swedish province of Jämtland , with a very wide view of Oviksfjäll . The Alm consists of several huts, some of which are still in traditional use today. After the Almsiedlung was restored with the help of the Länsmuseum ( Jamtli Provincial Museum ), it received a diploma from the European monument protection association Europa Nostra in 1991 .

The open grassy areas are mainly covered with bush- shaped juniper , which can live up to 1000 years at these altitudes.
