Locale molto accogliente e personale di sala cortese e attento alle esigenze del cliente, precise ed esaustive le spiegazioni circa gli ingredienti degli alimenti finalizzati a escludere allergie e intolleranze degli avventori. Menù vario e tutto di qualità. Costo molto contenuto in rapporto al servizio e qualità dei piatti che vengono tutti presentati in modo eccelso. Locale trovato tramite GoogleMaps, passando in zona ci torneremo sicuramente. GRAZIE di tutto.

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.
