Reindeers can be difficult to avoid
We are asking you to please take care when driving on our public roads. There are no wildlife fences and reindeers and elks wander freely across the landscape and across the roads. With winter roads, you need a longer distance to brake. At dawn and dusk, the wild animals are difficult to spot - until it is too late. It is also at dawn or dusk that the elks move the most. If you spot one wild animal, there is usually more around. Elk cows often move with their calves and reindeers often move in herds or groups. Drive at a safe speed and be observant on the roadside ahead of you. Notice if there are black plastic bags hanging beside the road - that is a warning that there are reindeers in the area.
If a meeting car flashes you with his lights, it could be a message that there are wild animals ahead (or other danger).
OKQ8 - petrol station Silvermuseet & Tourist Info
If you spot wild animals ahead, put your warning lights on to give signal to cars behind. When you see other cars behave differently you´d better slow down. IN CASE OFF ACCIDENT: First of all, make sure that you are not in the middle of the road, risking to be hit by another car. Remove the animal from the road if possible. Call 112 to report the collision to the police. The police wants to know where the collision took place: Road number, nearest village, how the place is marked and what kind of animal it was. It is necessary to mark the spot, regardless if the animal is dead or if it ran away.

STUDENTS FROM IRELAND
Inchicore College has been sending Diploma students to Hornavan Hotel in Arjeplog for many years with the support of Leonardo da Vinci and Erasmus+ European support. - They have gained valuable work experience in Arjeplog, Miriam Dunne, Project Manager, says. The three students are studying Travel and Tourism management diploma in Inchicore College Dublin. In Arjeplog they work in the kitchen and serving and participate in the hospitality business. When I ask what they think about Arje-
lot for that (including Lapland quite often some years ago), and meet so many great people. Then I created a vehicle dynamics testing department for a company of the Pininfarina group, and then worked as project manager at Valeo for a project in France, China and Brazil. Now, as an entrepreneur for 5 years, I enjoy very much sharing my passion, creating trainings and events in the automotive field, and trying to share these values : pleasure, freedom, learning, emotions without competition.

t ou t e l o h w 1, 2 , m ö dstr on s a Meet AnnikanLtudnur e s ter in w e th g in her apartme How do you prepare yourself and the apartment before letting out? I clean the apartment from floor to ceiling and pack away valuable things. I don´t need to prepare myself, I just pack my bags and move out. Mum and dad have let out their house as long as I can remember, so it feels more like a rule than an exception to stay away for a few weeks during the winter.
live “at home” with mum and dad, but I long after all home to my own place.
How many seasons have you let out? This is my third season.
Are you afraid that something will happen to the apartment when you let it out? No, most guests who have stayed there have performed exemplary. Only once something has been broken and that was a coffee press, which the guest himself had a new one.
What is the first thing you do when you move back home? Usually I just throw myself on the couch and chill, but this year - since I let out my apartment as long as I do - I’m going to buy a sandwich cake and have a party.
How do you live during that period? Usually stay in my old “girl’s room” with mum and dad but this year I could persuade them to let out their house while they went abroad, so right now I live with my grandfather and take care of their house, too.
Is it worthwhile to let out your apartment? Yes, I think so! It is nice extra money.
How does it work staying there? It works very well.
What is the best by letting out? I do not have to cook dinner every day since dad comes home first, and the feeling when you get to move back home and sleep in your own bed.
Do you notice any differences in Arjeplog during the vehicle test season? At work (Martins möbler) I notice the most before the rental season when people want to refresh their house with some new stuff. But otherwise, it’s a lot more cars driving around the community, all the restaurants and nightspots open, shops get more customers. It happens more. And I also feel that you are treated better when going out to eat, you get the menu at the table and do not have to go and order at the counter if you want.
What is the difference from being at home? Not so very much difference since I often
Arjeplog market Queen Kristina founded the market in the 1640s. First of all, it was about barter, not least with the Sami people. The market also had an important social function when people only met once a year. You got to know about marriage, death and other news. They also paid their taxes, visited the priest or got their disputes solved by the sheriff. The market is still a meeting place for the community, reunions and trade.
What is the hardest by letting out? I am used to living alone, so time by myself is probably what I miss the most.
