On leave

[Hoel]

I was bored with sorting out my stuff an figuring out what i left behind, so I threw together a map of Lerdala (where I live at the moment).
I didn't bother with heightmaps, but the eastern part is the slope of the mountain Billingen. Lerdala lies in a beatiful valley on an old lakebed (the lakes Lången and Flämsjön is what's left of old lake Laggen) and the view from my balcony is spectacular.
To the west lies the forrest of klyftamon. The area are full of bronze and iron age sites, I've got a stone circle in view from my bedroom window.
On a peak by the lake Bjursjön lies the old bronze age fortress Borgehall.
Within hiking distance lies, according to some controversial archeologists, the site of the old Ubsola (Uppsala) temple mentioned by Adam of Bremen.

This is a small village with about 800 people. There's no stores or shops, not even a gas station. There's a small school and a church. There's 16kms over the mountain to Skövde (nearest town) or 20 if there's snow and you have to go around.

I think I'll stay put here, since I'll get a decent connection in a couple weeks and as soon as spring rolls around for real it will be one of the most beautiful spots on earth.

I'll get back to mapping as soon as I can!
I hope you appreciate my ramblings
Cheers
