Then it is time to open door thirteen, and today it will be about a real mountain man.

Among all Swedish mountain mans  Torsten Boberg will be one of the first to mention. He was born 1892 in Grangärde in Dalarna. There has not been much written about him, but he has written a lots of books about the Swedish mountains. He was a Jack of all trades(mångsysslare). He also spend a summer with the Samis to test the reindeer herder.

  1. Boberg is the man we all look up to. Every time I am at my Cabin in the mountain at Røros, I read the book from Torsten. Inspiring histories from the past. Swedish mountain tales at its best.
