About history

The place where a lake disappeared

A historic corner of Jämtland

The campsite is located on the bed of the former Ragunda lake, where the lake once ended. The lake drained overnight in 1796 when Vildhussen dug his canal. Around 1890, there was a smithy here, later a bicycle workshop and a café, followed by a cabin village and a hunting and fishing camp under Birger Ajax. We remember him with gratitude – today, Thomas and Eva add their own touch to the place.
