Handöl - Huså

Nicolas' drone gets stuck in a tree outside our cabin but eventually comes down unharmed. Then we visit the Handölsforsen and reach our accommodation in Huså.

In short

In the morning Nicolas' drone gets stuck in the highest branch of a tree outside our cabin. After many attempts to knock it down by throwing a wooden stick and a shovel, we climb the ladder and shake the branch until the drone lies unharmed on the ground. Then we go to the Handölsforsen once more and drive on to Huså, where Nicolas has secretly booked modern accommodation as a surprise for Annina's birthday.

We wake up completely relaxed in our cabin in the forest and enjoy the nature all around us. Before we tidy everything up again, Nicolas sends his drone up over the beautiful forest to explore the area. Annina is inside the cabin when she suddenly hears the drone buzzing more aggressively than usual and Nicolas letting out a loud sigh. Her hunch that lots of trees and a flying drone would not exactly get along turns out to be right. In fact the drone has almost made it back to the cabin… but only almost. When Annina comes outside, she sees a very desperate-looking Nicolas and a drone stuck in the highest branch of a tree outside the cabin. Now the task is to get the drone down safely. Nicolas gathers every tool he can find: A ladder, a wooden stake, a wooden stick and a shovel. But all the throwing, shaking and climbing is no use. The drone seems to feel very much at home on this branch. Annina photographs and films the whole spectacle so that everything is properly documented, until the shovel and the wooden stick that Nicolas uses as projectiles are also hanging high up in the tree and show no sign of coming back down. So the day’s workout is ticked off: Nicolas has had some throwing practice and Annina’s abs are aching from laughing.

Luck is on our side after all! With the help of the ladder we can finally shake the upper branch hard enough for the thrown objects and even the drone to land back on the ground. Amazingly, the drone is undamaged and still flies! Reassured, we can finish tidying up and continue our journey. We go once more to the nearby Handölsforsen waterfall, which is now bathed in sunshine.

We walk across the suspension bridge again and follow a path to a lovely viewpoint overlooking the upper part of the waterfall.

We admire the breathtaking view and then drive on to the “Mystery Box”, the accommodation that Nicolas has secretly booked as a surprise for Annina’s birthday. So we drive pretty much straight to Huså. Nicolas has really pulled off the surprise. The house in Huså is really modern and beautifully located, with a view of a lake in the distance. We both feel perfectly at home.

In the evening we make use of the well-equipped, modern kitchen and cook Indian: Rice, spinach, veggie meatballs and an aubergine and tomato curry.
