Ho ho - can you hear the voices?Ho ho - can you hear the voices?

We suggest three different walking tours in areas where goblins, beings and ghosts may appear if you look closely. Going out at dusk with a flashlight is extra exciting.

The castle ghost Vita Karin who never rested - walk past Snogeholm Castle on Snogeholmsleden 16.5 km

In the ancient Snogeholm castle there is the ghost Vita Karin. Already in the Middle Ages there was a castle here - today it is a hotel. Still, hotel guests and hikers in the area discover that there are creatures that appear in the dark. Perhaps it has to do with the unfortunate maid Karin who started working at the castle inn in 1759. She was often scolded for putting her fingers in the pies while carrying them. A nobleman had a good eye for her, which made others want to play tricks on her. They sent a fake proposal letter to Karin, and asked her to come to a cave outside the castle. Karin sewed a wedding dress from her curtains and headed to the meeting place. Instead of the nobleman, five men were waiting for her, who abused her. She was carried back to the castle, where she was found the next morning, dead, as pale as a corpse, and in a white dress.Her spirit usually appears as a white light or as a white flash....

Arga Risebjärafrun inside the hill in Arriesjön - hike on Vit led 3.2 km and go up Risebjärakullen by the lake

According to folk tradition, a sorceress lived up on the rise Risebjär together with her two adult daughters. The coexistence with the villagers worked well and the goblins used to go to the people's parties, until the village servants teased the goblins and spilled beer on them. Mrs. Risebjära was furious and announced that henceforth no beer would be drunk in Arrie without this resulting in fights. When she heard Bastorp's bells ringing – there was a church there until the 16th century – she threw a boulder at them. According to an 18th-century story, it ended up in a bog near the village. The name Risebjär comes from the Danish word bjär, which means mountain/hill.

The troll under Vedema hall - walk here on the Blå slingan 3 km

Vedema hall has always been surrounded by legends. The trolls were said to live under Vedema Hall, and the entrance was a cave that has now been demolished. Far into this cave was a large iron door. Many claimed to have seen this iron door, but no one had opened it. One of the most dramatic legends in the area is that of a little girl whom the goblins had kidnapped from a farmer in Vedema. The farmer, however, knew advice and sent for the priest. Like the goblins, the priests of the time had powers a little out of the ordinary and he knew exactly how to go about saving the girl. As much as the goblins hated daylight, they hated the word of God. At the same time, the trolls were very hardworking. If you gave them a task, they were quick to carry it out. The priest knew all this. He managed to lure the troll out of the mountain and then threw a bushel of rye on the ground.

- Pick, he commanded. The trolls immediately set about picking up the rye, and during the time it took the trolls to complete the task, the priest had time to say a prayer. And voila, the troll vanished into thin air and the girl was free.
