Örnsköldsvik is located in the northern part of the High Coast of Sweden. The landscape here is varied with coast and cliffs, inland and forest. In Örnsköldsvik’s archipelago, you will find twenty major and many smaller islands scattered in the sea. Names like Ulvön and Trysunda are worth remembering. Fishing villages, fermented herring, smoked whitefish, rocks, birds and sailing are some of the things you will experience here in Västernorrland County.

Sollefteå

Sollefteå

The name Sollefteå translates to "the sunny climes." Situated in the Ångermanälven river valley, nestled between the fjeld and the sea and bordered by scenic mountains and steep sandy river banks, this region has always been a magnet for people throughout history. The rock carvings at Nämforsen river shows it was an important place even 6,000 years ago.
