Information about Jamtland Lan

Jamtland Lan is situated to the north of the Harjedalen region. The official language is Swedish, however some 50,000 of its inhabitants still know the Jamska language, though fewer use it daily. The language Jamska differs from Swedish in words, grammar and syntax. The difference can also be compared between Swedish and Norwegian. It has survived mostly because the inhabitants have been bilingual.

Jamtli Museum was the first outdoor museum in Sweden and has the most peculiar exhibition with Lapp mountains and wolves' lairs for the children. Among the many fascinating objects, is a large trap which was used in the early 19th century, in an attempt to catch the lake monster, believed to be living in Lake Storsjfn, many people have claimed to have seen the monster with hunches on its back and a small head. Over the years many people have tried to catch it, but nowadays it is protected. It could be a relative of Nessie, the monster in Loch Ness in Scotland.

As early as the Iron Age, Jamtland had its first domiciled population and the people lived in an independent farmers' republic for several centuries. Later, Jamtland came under Norwegian rule as a result of the Battle of Anderson in 1178. Jamtland remained under Norwegian supremacy until the middle of the 16th century when Norway became a part of Denmark. Until the Bromsebro Peace Treaty in 1645, the Jamts were Danish/Norwegian subjects, from 1645, Jamtland has been under Swedish rule.

The water is so fresh and you can drink and fish in it everywhere in the province. Try to catch tasty game fish in the harbour of Ostersund or in the mountain streams. Discover Jamtland by foot, mountain bike, canoe or maybe on horseback. There are excellent trekking possibilities in the mountains of Jamtland. Rent a canoe and discover the islands in Storsjon, the fifth largest lake in Sweden or paddle down any of the many beautiful rivers. Rent a mountain bike and ride down the slopes of Areskutan, where the World Cup downhill ski Championships often take place.
