In a forest in southern Småland, in southern Sweden.

There is a small earthen cabin is partially buried in the ground with its sod roof almost flush with the ground level, which renders the cabin nearly invisible. This type of house is known as “backstuga” in Sweden, which is literally "hill cottage". They are not very common today, but back in 17th-18th Centuries CE, some of the country’s poorest people lived in them.
