While plowing a third trench in the most demanding part of the area, near the city walls, the commander started to criticize him on how shallow the dig was.
The industrious giant was offended by this and abandoned his work as a result.
Since his work was left unfinished, the water level rose from the river and began to flood the Pazin valley. The local populace panicked when they realized this and begged him to come back to save them from drowning, which he did.
His solution to the problem? He stomped his enormous foot down beside the castle, and created the underground Pazin cave, which swallowed up all of the flooding waters. It still runs through the cave, which you can still tour today.

Here is a neat video of ziplining inside Pazin cave, and a cool overhead shot at the beginning of the video.https://youtu.be/aPr8PxNa1Jg

True to yourself
It has taken me this long to post about Scandanavian culture because I think we have a “Viking” pop fad going on in the world today that is troublesome to say the least.
Nothing is wrong with being proud of your heritage, and I might be stepping on toes here, but I recommend focusing on your own people.
When I say your people, I mean YOUR people. The actual ones whose history YOU are linked to and are descended from.

Whether you are Irish, German, Russian, Spanish, Italian, Polish, etc… you are intrinsically tied to your people by blood. This is something to be proud of and not to be taken lightly.
I believe it comes natural as you find out more about who you are, who your family is, and where they come from.
Your people’s stories, folklore, myths, beliefs, customs, etc.. allow you to discover your true cultural interests, inclinations and ties when it pertains to spirituality and culture.
From this, you have a compass on self discovery that you would have never thought possible.

To merely say, “I am a Viking” is a fallacy and a delusion. You most certainly are not. The Viking age has been over for quite some time now.
People today need to stop LARPing and find their actual roots.
Not to say that re-enactments are not entertaining but it should honor the past and this is not meant to offend real Scandinavians or their kin.
This current fad will pass, and another one will take its place because such is the way of pop culture. Focus on your own people and don’t waste time obsessing over pretending to be something that you are not.

Instead study the story of your own folk and tribe. There is a place for appreciating other Hyperborean cultures and the mark they have made on the world, but unless you are of Scandinavian lineage, please stop appropriating another culture that is not yours.
Scandinavia has its own rich history, culture and people.
Let them own it. It is theirs to be proud of.

On that note, here is some appreciation of a beautiful cultural practice called Kulning. It has been historically tied to Sweden. https://youtu.be/KvtT3UyhibQ

Kulning - Ancient Swedish herdingcall
In the middle of the bright summernight I went out to call for the cows. I thought that maybe, something deep inside them, remember the sounds from the ancient times when people called for them over far distances.
They came running, together with a million…

Kulning: The Swedish Herding Calls of the North
In its original context, kulning is a group of labor songs developed out of needs rather than musical expression.
