To hunt/ to shoot in Saxnäs and surrounding area
The Autumn and the winter are the seasons for the hunter in the forests close to the mountains surrounding Saxnäs.
Regardless if you are scouting for willow grouse or ptarmigan in the mountain terrain or for capercaillie and black grouse in the forest; it´s a great hunting adventure to experience.
The experience of hiking over mountain moors surrounded by the splendor of autumn or skiing through forests wich are heavy with snow are amazing.
