Program at Victoria's hike in Jämtland tomorrow, at the website of the County Administrative Board of Jämtland
The Crown Princess makes two stops during the visit to Jämtland - the sports field and Andersön's nature reserve.
- We look forward to showing as many pages of the landscape as possible during the Crown Princess's visit. There will be beautiful nature, history, outdoor life and modern activities such as parasailing, says county governor Jöran Hägglund.
The Crown Princess's day in Jämtland begins in the morning with a visit to the sports field in Östersund. There, the Crown Princess gets to meet players and leaders from IFK Östersund's parafootball who tell about their activities and play a training match.
