Stories from the District Årsunda

The project aims to bring to life cultural-historical sites and various natural environments in Årsunda through stories. Through a mapping system, residents and tourists can visit different places to experience and learn about the district. Marked on the map are places with stories in the form of photo documentation, audio recordings, and video clips with actors recounting stories from Årsunda. There will be loops of various lengths and accessibility. The idea is that the places should be visited on foot or by bike.

The project is carried out in collaboration between the various local organizations Årsunda Heritage Association, the orienteering section within Årsunda Sports Association, Strandbaden, and Årsunda Viking. The project owner is Insektslandet.
