King Carl Gustaf was on a private hunting trip in Pirkanmaa region in Finland during the weekend. He was seen at the yard of the hotel-restaurant Mäntän Klubi on Saturday morning. People almost didn't believe their eyes. Timo Rauhalammi told to Iltasanomat, that the king went to a van, and although he was dressed very casually, one could recognize that it was him. Rauhalammi heard inside, that the king and the swedish people with him had stayed at night at the Mäntän Klubi. Of course it is surprising to see the king at a small place like this.
The king didn't sign the guest book and the hotel manager said that unfortunately she couldn't comment their guest list at all.
Annika Sönnerberg from the court press department confirmed to Iltasanomat, that the king was on Finland. It was a private trip, said Sönnerberg.
According to the sources of Iltasanomat the king left home on Sunday morning.
