HIKE NOTES
The area of Göljån was devastated by a tsunami affect that followed a giant storm that hit the east side of Mt Fulufjället between August 30-31,1997. A natural phenomenon of this kind has not occurred in recent natural history, and probably not since the age of the Vikings. Keep an eye out for elk, wolf, lynx, wolverine and many species of birds on this trip - the Siberian Jay and the year round local - - the big black Lagopus.
