The cherry trees in Siljansnäs are blooming! This is a spectacular sight, all the white fluffy trees look like the clouds sank down on the earth. People travel from all over the world to Japan and to Washington DC to watch the pink cherry trees. Siljansnäs can match them! You are lucky to be in the airpark just when this fantastic natural phenomenon takes place. And the story about why there are so many cherry trees in Siljansnäs is so sweet.

Spring is undoubtedly on its way no matter what the weather or the almanac tries to tell you. Officially March is the first spring calendar month on our latitudes but February has been trying to work its way into this category this year. Climate change? (...) The bird in our logo – the crane – Crus crus – never stops to fascinate. This year the “invasion” was watched at Pulken, a marsh-like area south of Kristianstad in the south east of Sweden. Most known among bird watchers is the Hornborgasjön, where 15-20.000 cranes rest each year on their way to Northern Sweden or Finland to establish...

The result was that we could enjoy the fantastic...

It has been a while, admitted. Due to circumstances beyond my control time passed and no newsletter was produced. I regret that but will attempt to make up for it, starting with all the best wishes for A Happy New Year to all Siljan Airpark inhabitants and their dear ones. This year it looks like we are having a real Dalecarlian winter with snow and low temperatures, creating perfect conditions for skiing in the woods as well as on the frozen lakes and waters. Nothing compares to sliding through the silent white powdered woods and come out at the edge of the woods in sparkling sun and glistening...
