Last year we set off on an adventure that we had been waiting for for a few years. We went to the Älgparken in Gårdsjön, which is run by Leffe and his family.
Morgongåva is situated on the national road 72 between Uppsala and Sala. When you reach Morgongåva, drive north at sign “Älgpark 6”- you will also see the painted Moose Warning Sign beside the road. Drive north about 5 km to the village of Vansjö. Turn right at the sign “Älgpark 1” and drive 1 km – and now you are here!
As usual, we arrived in good time, as early as 1 hour before we were supposed to go on a moose safari.
While we were waiting, the family's incredibly playful dog Kajsa came, who wanted to play the stick throwing game with us.
And the cat Gustav gave us company before everyone arrived. He followed us everywhere on the farm and also wanted to play with us.
A little way from the farm into the forest is Leffe's own fairyland.
During our trip to Orsa we saw a collection of 4000 Santa. Here we have another collector "The Mooseman, Leffe" who has a collection of 2000 Santas who have placed out in the woods in their own plot.Leffe, who owns the farm, is an incredibly funny and lively person. The tour itself becomes more like a performance as he is both funny and gets very close to his visitors. You feel welcome when you are there by every single person who works on the farm.
On a long train sit several curious nervous visitors, big and small ready to go into the enclosure where the moose roam freely.
When you go in, it's like a performance, Leffe offers food to the moose and walks around with the food bucket next to the visitors, and then you have the opportunity to see the fantastic enormous animals.
You can ask many questions and Leffe will answer everything with great joy.
On site there is a cafe and also a small shop. A very clean toilet is also available if you need to freshen up.
Finally, you can take a tour of the lodge where you can also see one or two old tools, stuffed animals which are very interesting.
A fantastic meeting with the moose man Leffe - who owns Gårdsjön. An incredibly nice person who loves his moose as much as he loves the people around him. So open and welcoming to its visitors and really tells you everything you want to know about the moose and the park.
A memory weI will always remember, the Mooseman signing the book that has been written about him.
