Trip to Norrland: Day 2 - Enchanted Forest (Trolska Skogen)

Continuing the trip with my children in the Northern parts of Sweden, we left in the morning from west of Söderhamn. 35 km north or Hudiksvall was the main attraction for today, Trolska Skogen, or Enchanted Forest as is its name. In the forest outside the village of Jättendal (which suitably enough literally means The Giants Dale), for the third consecutive year, actors dressed as fairies and gnomes from Swedish folklore reenacts a story of where a bad which has kidnapped the small folk and needs the visitors help. After that we passed Sundsvall, Härnösand, the Höga Kusten bridge, the beautiful Höga Kusten landscape and Örnsköldsvik to reach Umeå, where we visited the outdoors part of Västerbotten Museum to see some farms with people dressed up like farmers from history plus real and wooden animals. After that we stayed the night att Lufta Camping between Umeå and Skellefteå. This day we drove roughly 500 km, but with several breaks (five) the children didn't complain much at all so  all in all another good day.
