This is not Old Tucson in the U.S.A but in Sweden, it is in Småland between Gnosjö, Anderstorp and Värnamo. When you walk into the High Chaparral will meet you promptly of cowboys, sheriffs, can, can girls and Indians. You feel gunpowder from guns everywhere and the atmosphere is high with anticipation for those who are here visiting.
Thing to do
Here you can go by stagecoach, old steam train and steamer to get a feel of how the old wild west was. During the day, there are several shows you can see with actors that plays cool action scenes, with stuntmen who fight and fall from roof, stage coach and horses going at full speed makes this a great show not to be missed.
Western Shows
When you walk around on the High Chaparral can suddenly greeted by friendly elements, actors playing an event and joking with visitors. Driving the old steam locomotives as the train stops and gets robbed, pistol shot goes of and cowboys fall down on the ground, a thrill show who you are experiencing in live, the train robbery, as in the old films from the United States.
