North east of Falkenberg, there are a group of fresh water wells called Höstena, with a mythical history connected to them. A farmer is said to have sunk into the wells with his horse and carriage, later found alive in Ätran close to Falkenberg. The water is very clear and bubbly, home to salmon spawns on their way to the main river.
We propose a play version of the wells in the park, designed to communicate the legend of the farmer and his carriage.
