The majority of wooden homes are painted in this red colour which is nationally well known and culturally important. It is called Falu Red and is a by product of copper mining in and around the town of Falum.There are very few fences in Sweden as Swedish law provides extensive right of public access to land and waters. You are allowed to walk, cycle, ride, swim and camp practically everywhere, provided that you don't disturb people or destroy anything. You are allowed to pick wild flowers, berries, mushrooms and such like everywhere, or to collect dead wood and make a fire, provided that adequate safety measures are taken. So someone, in theory, can walk through you garden as long as they don't make a nuisance of themselves, damage or litter it.
It was a bit cool so we had breakfast indoors before saying bye to Agneta and P-G and taking a round about route back to Stockholm.
It seems strange to see warning signs to animals other than kangaroos, wombats etc.
We called in to see Mia and Ulf where they were staying in Ulf's Mother's lovely house near Hofors.
Mother and daughter.
