Järvsö

It’s a play on words, innit? Järvzoo in Järvsö. I guess you have to be Swedish.

The Zoo – and it is worth a visit – is an interesting one. The animals are Nordic species that are kept in outdoor “pens” that emulate their natural habitat. To see them one walks up one side of a mountain valley and down the other side, all on a wooden boardwalk. It had snowed not long before we went, but that’s not a problem for the critters. The reindeer sausage sandwich at the midway point was, sadly, overpriced and underwhelming.
