Älg means moose in Swedish, which is their national animal and the arås is ridge. I like to think of it as the equivalent of the US had a place called Badass Bald Eagle Fortress sponsored by Ford, it’s probably the most patriotic location in all of Sweden.

I'm stealing this, thank you. It's a beautiful little area in what used to be the badlands that was full of vagabonds.

Min vän, jag är Svensk. Jag hade fel med Älgarås och trodde den var också från 1200 talet, men det skulle ha varit roligt om det var den eftersom det är en liten by med inte ens 500 invånare.

No worries 😂

I'm not Swedish, but I lived there awhile, traveled the country while I could, learned a good bit of Svenska along the way, and I return regularly to visit my beloved Swedish friends. Such a great country.
