But wait a minute - what is vildsint?

Vildsint - a new chapter for Svansele

Svansele Wildlife exhibition was born in 1996 out of Thorbjörn Holmlund's love for his home region, for local history - and perhaps above all for nature and its cycles. For many years, everything looked almost the same, and it was beautiful that way. But nature itself never stands still. And neither do we.

Vildsint is a continuation that honours the roots but dares to take a turn. With a sustainability mindset in the kitchen, an updated menu, a new design and a new approach that wants to highlight Västerbotten from completely new angles.

From game board to vildsint

Simply put, Vildsint is the new name of our restaurant - but in practice it is so much more.
We know that we are so much more than just game board (which of course still exists).

What are we doing differently?

Just like nature, we live with the seasonal changes. We have used our classic Västerbotten culinary skills, pickled and fermented with a smile on our face. We reduce waste and compose new dishes according to the seasonal supply with love of nature. We've baked, we've invented wild desserts and we've made sure that our menu is equally good for everyone - regardless of allergies and special diets. We believe it's for the best.

Is the exhibition still there?

Of course it does. We will also record a guided tour so that you can listen to it in several languages using your mobile phone.

The exhibition

Our unique Wilderness Exhibition

Over 650 animals, almost all preserved by the same local master.
Each scene recreates an image straight from the wilderness. The many encounters that take place where our eyes rarely reach. Everything is hand-picked. Each room unique. The woods in the walls chosen according to the theme.

To honour the northern landscape. To tell the story of
the course of life, and the interaction between humans and animals.
