It's a very good experience to see this. When ever someone says gavle I will remember this. It's basically a place in middle of gavle where everyone is taking pictures....You will find it very easily. Tip is to go during night when it's all decorated in lights. Read about it before you go...So that you will know why people try to burn it. Since 1966 it was burned down 5-6 times I guess.

You know Christmas is near when you see the bock. So pretty and so big. Even though I lived in Gävle for more than 10 years, I still got excited every time I see the Bock. Highly recommend everyone to visit Gävle at least once in December to see beautiful Bocken ❤️

A giant goat made of hay and you never know wgether it stands there or has already burnt and everyone can bet on its fate, plus watch it online. Crazy enough to earn 5 stars, I felt so excited to go and see it while it was still there ha ha MUST-SEE!
