Residents of Estes Park go to great lengths to minimize their impact on wildlife. Animals have been known to meander through downtown, but don't sit in the town your whole vacation waiting for them.

In 1887, Henning Hammarlund founded 'Halda Fickursfabrik', a pocket watch factory in the town of Svängsta, just outside of Karlshamn.

Just over three decades later, the old factory was transformed into one of Sweden's most distinguished industrial museums. See how pocket watches were manufactured and experience the machines from the late 1800s in full career.
