The Route:
18092015 - Completed with our Pyrenees drive on a Wednesday, we left Stockholm the following day to drive to the North. I had wanted to see the Northern Lights so badly, but unfortunately my dream did not materialise because we did not have sufficient days to drive to the North. So, we did attempt to drive to the North the next day but Sweden is huge and for half a day of driving got us to Jamtland County, the center of Sweden. Can you see how big Sweden is? We probably need a whole day to reach the North. Prof Sweet Tooth drove to Hoverberg in Jamtland County. We did not enter inside the town.
It was the outskirts where we there is a small tower, and we walked up to the top to see the view. We had slept here the night before, and I was freezing when I opened the car door. But the view that I saw is gorgeous with the trees' leaves changing its colours.
Breakfast this time is goulash soup. It was such a welcome hot meal on a cold morning.
Goulash is a soup or stew of meat and vegetables, seasoned with paprika and other spices. Originating from the medieval Kingdom of Hungary, goulash is also a popular meal in Central Europe, Scandinavia and Southern Europe. (Source from Wikipedia)
We made a stop at Fillstabäcken Nature Reserve. We were driving aimlessly on the road and Prof Sweet Tooth made suggestions to stop here. It was here that I understood and agreed that Sweden is one of the most beautiful countries in the world. Come and see the nature!
Fillstabäcken Nature Reserve is a nature reserve in Jämtland County in Sweden. The nature reserve contains Sweden's most extensive area of tufa, formed by a spring that has deposited calcium carbonate here for around 5,000 years. The spring and tufa is surrounded by an area of forest, and contains several unusual plant species such as fly orchid, birds-eye primrose, Scottish asphodel,fragrant orchid, Pedicularis sceptrum-carolinum and Carex flava and its subspecies jemtlandica.

Prof Sweet Tooth found some blueberries and offered some to me, but I was skeptical if any animals have been peeing. He assured me there is none, and I am thankful that my stomach did not protest to it.
Ta-da, the calcium carbonate we found in the Nature Reserve.
The drive continues on to Ostersund where we went to an International Food Fair.
