holding pen for reindeer


Explanation:
Rengärdet - the holding pen - är platsen där renskiljning - mustering of reindeer - äger rum.

Obs! Inte slang.

Example sentence(s):
  • På heden en bit bort finns ett rengärde som används varje år vid renskiljningar.
  • på den östra sidan ligger ett rengärde/renskiljningsplats.
