Gäddede

Gäddede belongs to the municipality of Strömsund and it is the main town of the parish of Frostviken. This small town at the Norwegian border is an ideal starting point for hiking, horse riding, and bicycle tours through the north Swedish mountains. In Gäddede, you can also participate in fishing trips, canoe tours, and tours to near by the spectacular natural sights, like the Hällingsafållet end the Koralgrottan, that are not far from there.

In Gäddede itself there are several options for accommodation, two restaurants, an art cafe, several shops, two gas stations and a supermarket. The Frostvikens Hembydsgård invites a visit with its exciting collection of utensils and tools used by the colonists of old, as does the local church and the nature section of the tourist office.

The name of the town comes from the Swedish words “gädda” (pike) and “ed” (passage through or along water). Indeed, the lakes and rivers around the area are said to be full of pikes.
