Meet the People of Håltebyn

Introducing our new series of portraits: the residents, makers and small businesses that give the village its heart.

Published November 8, 2026 · By Destination Håltebyn

A village is its people. The neighbour who knows where the lingonberries grow, the baker who has a loaf ready on Saturday morning, the family waving from the field — these are the moments that stay with you.

In “People of Håltebyn” we will introduce them one by one: residents from Sweden, Norway, Germany and England, local craftspeople and the small businesses that keep the countryside alive. Every portrait is written together with the person it is about, and published only with their permission.
