Gryttie homepage

The observations, of what is believed to be a fresh water sea monster, have been made in lake Gryttjen. This very beautiful lake, has a reputation of being mysterious and incalculable. It has for decades been shrouded in rumours and tales.

   From the Swedish TV programme on the Monster Gryttie.

The lake Gryttjen is located between Hudiksvall and Ljusdal in the middle of Sweden, see map below. Road no 84 passes close to the lake. A decal for your car is avaliable.

At the time when the systematic investigations in the lake Gryttjen started in the 80's, many people thought it was a hoax. It was soon clear however that some of the indications could not be explained in a normal way. For the team which is doing the research today, the most interesting hypothesis is that some kind of sea-cow lives in the deep of the cold lake, as an isolate.
