Storseleby: Directions, Järjagården and the Vojmån

For travel planning, Storseleby can be understood through two reference points: the route to Järjagården in the village and the Vojmån in the surrounding area. The directions help you find your way by road; information about the river adds regional landscape and fishing topics. If you are looking for a hotel, you can consider these questions separately: finding your way around the village and the activities that interest you in the region.

Directions and getting around Storseleby

From Vilhelmina, take the E45 towards Storuman. After 26 km, turn left towards Storsele. After another 2 km, Järjagården is on a hill at the end of the village, on the right-hand side. The route offers two successive reference points: first the turnoff, then the location at the end of the village. Check the road conditions before setting off.

Storseleby is also marked on a 2012 map of the Vojmåns FVO. The map listing adds a different scale to the directions: the turnoff and Järjagården help with the journey itself, while the map shows the village name in the context of the Vojmåns FVO. This helps distinguish between finding your way around the village and regional map information.

Järjagården and shared meals

Järjagården operated as a hiking hostel and restaurant in Storseleby. The Friday meals described were intended as a gathering place where people ate together and spent time with one another. If you would like to include such a meal in your stay, confirm the date in advance.

The Vojmån in the surrounding region

The Vojmån is 2 km from Järjagården. In the wider region, the river is about 65 km long and drops 80 m along its course. These figures relate to different scales: the 2 km locates the river in relation to Järjagården, while its length and elevation drop give an overview of the river’s course. Rapids, fast-flowing stretches and calm pools alternate along the Vojmån. In the wider region, the Vojmån is one of the last larger, partially untouched flowing waterways in Lapland.

Fly fishing is considered the main fishing technique on the Vojmån. Fly fishing and spin fishing are both among the most promising methods; grayling fishing is considered the best fishing on the river. Fishing conditions and regulations may change. Check the current rules before fishing.

The Vojmåns FVO covers almost the entire Vojmån between the Vojmsjöns FVO and the Volgsjöns FVO. The area name thus provides a regional frame along the river. It is on a different level from the map’s location label for Storseleby: the FVO denotes an extensive stretch, while the map shows a specific village. Together, they help distinguish between the different geographical scales involved in planning a trip.
