Very nice and rather large plant nursery. Good selection of stylish pots and garden paraphernalia. Prices can be a wee high on some things.

Altid dejligt at komme, og der er mange sjove planter man kan gå og kigge på. Deres udvalg af tilbehør til haven er også rigtig fint, med nogle gode produkter til en fornuftig pris, og i god kvalitet.

Frösö Runestone

Frösöstenen is the northern-most raised runestone in the world and Jämtland's only runestone. It originally stood at the tip of ferry terminal on the sound between the island of Frösön and Östersund. The stone dates to between 1030 and 1050. It has now been relocated to the lawn in front of the local county seat due to the construction of a new bridge, between 1969 and 1971, on the original site.

Frösö runestone inscription means: Austmaðr, Guðfastr's son, had this stone raised and this bridge built and Christianized Jämtland. Ásbjörn built the bridge. Trjónn and Steinn carved these runes.
