My favourite place- Boheden

My favourite place here in Sweden is my family’s cottage in a small place that is called Boheden. It’s quite close to a village that’s called Överkalix but there is a lake between Överkalix and our cottage.

When we drive to our cottage we can drive two different ways, through the forest or over the lake. If we choose to drive through the forest we have a bigger opportunity to see some wild animals and in most cases we drive this way because it’s a little bit shorter. If you drive over the lake there is a ferry that takes you over the lake in the summers and in the winter you can drive over the ice because there is a road on the ice in the winter.

I like to be in our cottage because it is very quiet and you can do a lot of things. In the winter it’s a lot of snow and you can go skiing, ice fishing and do a lot of other winter activities. In the summers you can do things in the forests, in the water and on the meadows around the cottages. In the forest I walk with our dog and on the meadows I play soccer with my brother and other things and on the lake I windsurf, go water skiing, swim, paddle, fish, and go by boat. We have a little beach about 100 meters from the cottage where we have the boat.

It´s very beautiful around our cottage because there are green meadows around the house and you can see the blue lake outside the window. On the other side of the lake there is a small mountain and around all this there are forests. There are quite a lot of animals there so in the winters when it´s snow on the ground you can see the tracks from different animals even on our terrace. One winter we had a hare that lived under the terrace.

I like to be in the cottage because there are a lot of things to do that you can’t do at home.
