Welcome to a meeting place many thousands of years old, which tells a part of the exciting history of Västernorrland. Take in the landscape and the views. Traces of previous generations are especially evident here: burial mounds, an early medieval church ruin, house foundations, roads, and a runestone bear witness to the lives lived here. The exhibition at the Nolby Högar site narrates the area's long history. Here, you can learn about how land uplift has changed the landscape over time and how people have used this place for thousands of years.

Alnö, known as 'Norrland's Hawaii', is a volcanic island just outside Sundsvall that formed approximately 570 million years ago. As a result, Alnö features unique rocks and minerals not found anywhere else in the world, including the eponymous Alnöite. Around the turn of the 20th century, Alnö was a true sawmill island with 19 sawmills operating simultaneously. Today's Alnö is a summer paradise with cosy bathing coves, fishing villages, restaurants and cafés.
