CRAYFISHING AT WITCHES ISLAND TIVEDEN SWEDEN
During this tour you will experience a lot ! Boating on a beautiful lake, trying crayfishing, eating a traditional Swedish crayfish dinner on a remote island where the legends say the witches paused on their route to the Evil One. We will also stay overnight in an old and cosy fisherman’s cabin on the Witches island. Dinner and breakfast are included. By Hasselfors lies the heartshaped lake Toften with its many islands and bays.
Strarting in the afternoon we head out alongside the shores in boat to experience the lakes and it´s beautiful and forest covered beaches on our route towards Boön- Witches island. We reach our destination Witches island. Here is according to local legends, the place where the witches takes a break (checking the broom perhaps) on their way to the Evil One at Blue Hill. The island is since far a central point for the fishing in the lake as there is an old log cabin with two rooms on the island, We explore the island with its´ connection top folklore and fishing finishing with a crayfish dinner and dessert.
Of course soft drinks are included. There after we once again go out with the boat to fish for fish or crayfish by Witches island. During the late night we cuddle by the fire och hopefully enjoy the sunset in the west. We sleep cosy and safely in the cabin. Hopefully no witches have stayed on the island so we won’t be scared by any witchcraft during the night… In the morning we have breakfast, pick up the crayfish traps and head back to land.
You´ll experiences a time of living Swedish history by folklore, tales, fishing and feast traditions!
