Hi again Sulis,

most Scandinavians speak passable English, so I think your best bet might be to ask directly on the Swedish forum:

These are the official Vättern pages, in English:

This is the forum they link to from the Swedish site (let me know if you need help signing up):
http://www.cykla.se/

There also seems to be an English-speaking forum, but it also seems to be quite dead:
