skellefteå – a cosy small town located high up in the north of<br />
scandinavia, right on the very edge of the magical region known as<br />
swedish lapland. in one of europe’s last remaining wildernesses and close to<br />
the arctic circle, we promise unique discoveries and memorable moments that<br />
will last a lifetime. from dense forests to roaring rivers; from a summer sun that<br />
doesn’t really set for 100 days to spectacular winters that turn the vast northern<br />
landscape into a rugged and adventurous arena for unique experiences. not<br />
to mention the activities and sights, the history and culture and the mythical<br />
northern Lights. this brochure is filled with facts and inspiration, helping you to<br />
shape your own perfect trip to the far north. welcome to skellefteå.<br />

the river is in many ways the very heart of skellefteå both for the locals and visitors.<br />
photo: destination skellefteå<br />
Naturally, you<br />
will discover<br />
something.<br />
a little stroll is all it takes to capture the spirit, heart and<br />
400-year-old history of skellefteå. you can enjoy nature<br />
and experience true cultural history without leaving the city<br />
centre. this is one way of discovering skellefteå.<br />
for natural and historical reasons, much<br />
of skellefteå revolves around the river.<br />
this is why the river and its environs are an<br />
excellent way of getting to know the town.<br />
go from the town centre to the nordanå<br />
cultural centre with its range of cultural<br />
events such as exhibitions, a museum, an<br />
old village shop and an activity area for<br />
excursions and recreation.<br />
a little like skellefteå central park, if you<br />
will. you will have hardly left the nordanå<br />
area before stepping into a bygone time<br />
and one of the town’s most well-known<br />
and well-preserved historical landmarks,<br />
Bonnstan. dating back to the 17th century,<br />
this is the name used by the people of<br />
skellefteå for the church village. its 116<br />
houses feature 392 well-preserved rooms<br />
that capture the flavour of times gone by. if<br />
you are really lucky, your visit will coincide<br />
with the midsummer holiday or a market<br />
weekend when the whole area is in bloom.<br />
you will pass by the Landskyrkan church<br />
and cultural riches of stiftsgården vicarage<br />
before crossing the river over Lejonströmsbron,<br />
the oldest wooden bridge in europe.<br />
on the other side of the river, you follow<br />
the promenade back to the centre and can<br />
enjoy being close to nature and viewing the<br />
town from a new perspective.<br />
follow this route and you will come upon<br />
the sights of skellefteå, discovering and<br />
enjoying these golden nuggets that come<br />
into view when you least expect it. if you are<br />
getting around by car, you can venture into<br />
the fringe areas and visit unique attractions<br />
such as ostens hus (the house of the<br />
cheese), rismyrliden and Bjuröklubb. at<br />
all times, the fresh nature of the skellefteå<br />
region will form a major element of your<br />
experience.<br />

sjöbad, summer havsbad dip at Byske eller varför havsbad. inte tempererat.<br />
Badmöjligheterna photo: camilla Öjhammar<br />
är oändliga.<br />
Many ways<br />
to play golf.<br />
And swim.<br />
if your decision to go swimming depends on the temperature,<br />
you no longer have any excuse. Because the<br />
number of bathing options is virtually endless. the same<br />
is true for many activities in skellefteå. the possibilities<br />
are almost endless. take a look at the opportunities open<br />
to you. if things don’t go well with your nine iron (always<br />
blame the club!) swap it for an approach disc and you’re<br />
bound to see an improvement.<br />
finding things to do in skellefteå is not<br />
particularly difficult. you may, in fact,<br />
have trouble choosing. take the matter<br />
of golf, for example. with its 27 holes,<br />
rönnbäcken golf course is a renowned<br />
and popular golf course that suits most<br />
people. and the fact that skellefteå can<br />
also offer miniature golf is not, of course,<br />
unique but it is enjoyable and courses with<br />
varying degrees of difficulty can be found<br />
on most campsites. it is the fact that we<br />
go one stage further that causes eyebrows<br />
to be raised. acting as host for national<br />
and international tournaments every year,<br />
discgolfterminalen is one of the best disc<br />
golf courses in europe. and if your appetite<br />
for golf is still not satisfied, you can always<br />
try football golf in Bureå.<br />
you have just as many choices open to<br />
you when it comes to another popular<br />
summer activity - bathing. staying in an<br />
area so close to the sea, it would be a pity<br />
not to take the plunge at one or more of<br />
the many seaside resorts in skellefteå.<br />
a little closer and warmer, falkträsket<br />
is the town’s popular, centrally-located<br />
natural outdoor bathing place suitable for<br />
people with disabilities. there is also an<br />
abundance of lakes and pools awaiting the<br />
timid bather. the next step on the thermal<br />
scale is vitbergsbadet, a swimming facility<br />
with a wave machine and water chute, and<br />
if you want to go even further we have the<br />
recently renovated eddahallen swimming<br />
pool complex. and the warmest of all, of<br />
course, are the hot tubs you will find at<br />
many of the bathing facilities in the area.<br />
all you have to do is jump right in!<br />
activities<br />
go-karTing<br />
go-karting is one of the summer’s most enjoyable<br />
distractions. the fastec ring, just outside central<br />
skellefteå, happens to be one of europe’s most<br />
up-to-date go-karting tracks, adding even more<br />
to the enjoyment. there is even a track for the<br />
little ones.<br />
waTErcrafT safari<br />
the mighty skellefte river is a central and an<br />
important part of skellefteå’s cityscape. it is<br />
scattered with small islands and islets, and<br />
is the starting point for wonderful walks and<br />
marvellous fishing. if you want to explore the<br />
river close to the city or our seaside coast in a<br />
slightly different way, a jet-ski safari in Boviken,<br />
for instance, is the activity for you.<br />
boda borg<br />
the word you should keep in mind when stepping<br />
into Boda Borg is “Quests”. this is how it<br />
works... you open doors. Behind each door is a<br />
challenge; four challenges make up a Quest and<br />
Quests are there to be solved.<br />

Events to remember.<br />
And memories that<br />
stay with you.<br />
the simple fact that we like creating new events has a lot<br />
to do with our intrinsic entrepreneurial spirit. and whenever<br />
we are offered an event, we are often praised for how wellorganised<br />
it is, whether it is a conference for europe’s creative<br />
elite or a qualifying round for the swedish entry for the<br />
eurovision song contest. But the fact that we can and we<br />
want to is not the most important thing. no, the fact that we<br />
know how, that we know when and that you feel incredibly<br />
welcome – that is even more important.<br />
Big meets small. old meets young. the past<br />
meets the future. tastes meet each other<br />
and everyone meets everyone. we are<br />
certain you will find it quite infectious, this<br />
enthusiasm skellefteå inhabitants have for<br />
meeting each other in happy circumstances.<br />
we’ll often get a little idea and in such a<br />
spirit of entrepreneurialism... well, of course<br />
we can organize a small festival around it,<br />
can’t we? it may be large, it may be unusual,<br />
it may be for children, it may be for 70,000<br />
visitors and, more than likely, it may also be<br />
free. it may taste good and it may do good.<br />
always it will involve people meeting each<br />
other. meetings to remember.<br />

Swedish Lapland’s<br />
meeting with<br />
the world.<br />
food is nourishment. But it is also experiences and<br />
culture. distinctive cuisines are cultivated in all corners<br />
of the globe. when they are fused they take on new life<br />
and new flavours, and brand new cuisines are born. one<br />
of the distinguishing features of skellefteå’s cuisine is<br />
västerbottensost. Just like home-grown and self-caught<br />
foods, simplicity and desire for innovation are key.<br />
as you would expect, many of the classic<br />
flavours of the swedish Lapland region are<br />
also to be found in skellefteå. we know<br />
perfectly well how to cook salmon and<br />
new potatoes, how to make dumplings<br />
and the best way to make use of elk meat.<br />
it is an important part of our cuisine. as in<br />
other parts of the world, cuisines that were<br />
once confined to a local area have spread<br />
throughout the globe. it is when these<br />
foreign cuisines meet that things get really<br />
exciting. take, for example, elk kebabs or<br />
västerbotten parfait. these are dishes you<br />
should enjoy in a restaurant with a view, in<br />
a traditional inn or why not in a boat on the<br />
river? the collision of the various cuisines<br />
explodes once a year at the matfesten food<br />
festival when the people of skellefteå come<br />
on a pilgrimage to challenge their tastebuds.<br />
many may well turn up their noses at<br />
the statement that pizza should be considered<br />
cuisine. especially in sweden. But with<br />
a sprinkling of västerbotten cheese … or<br />
turn all the rules upside down and incorporate<br />
a hamburger with french fries…<br />
food<br />
sTifTsgårdEn<br />
an oasis, embedded in greenery, situated by<br />
the skellefteå river. this genuine country house<br />
environment is a unique phenomenon. the old<br />
main building dating back to 1802 provides the<br />
perfect tone and setting for a lovely meal.<br />
rEsTaurang nygaTan 57<br />
a wonderful restaurant right in the middle of<br />
skellefteå with plenty of experience and which<br />
prepares its meals lovingly using carefully<br />
selected local ingredients so that you, as a<br />
guest, get a top-quality experience.<br />
svansElE vildmarkscEnTEr<br />
a wonderful wilderness exhibition, also known<br />
for its delicious wilderness buffet. excellent<br />
destination for those interested in nature and<br />
who want a taste of game.<br />

shopping areas to the south and north. there is a broad<br />
and varied range on offer, so it may take some time.<br />

The shopping trip<br />
continues.<br />
skellefteå has made remarkable progress when it<br />
comes to shopping. from a typical small swedish town<br />
with just the basics on offer, the city has developed<br />
into one of norrland’s most exciting places to shop.<br />
give it a go! wander through the mall. make a little detour.<br />
Be curious. ask one of the locals. you’ll soon have<br />
that bargain in your hands.<br />
most shopping in sweden is characterised<br />
by swedish and international chains. the<br />
range on offer is well thought out and in demand.<br />
there are two ways in which you can<br />
spice up the shopping experience. you can<br />
mix the broad range of products offered by<br />
the major retail outlets with unique, local<br />
variations on the specific and unexpected.<br />
the other way is to create accessibility and<br />
presence. in skellefteå there are 168 steps<br />
between the three shopping malls in the<br />
centre of town. to create greater accessibility,<br />
there are two large commercial centres<br />
– one in the south and one in the north.<br />
part of the experience of travel exists in the<br />
things you find in local shops. that thingamyjig<br />
you actually take home with you. it<br />
doesn’t necessarily have to be a souvenir.<br />
memories can be tied up in a sweater, a pair<br />
of shoes or that window lamp you simply<br />
couldn’t resist.<br />

The art of sleeping<br />
without missing<br />
breakfast.<br />
don’t think too much about where you will stay. focus<br />
instead on how you will spend your time. you will then<br />
have already advanced a few steps in planning your trip.<br />
you will then have created the perfect conditions for an<br />
experience that’s perfect for you. and it is then that your<br />
imagination begins to run riot, as the possibilities take<br />
form and become reality. where you sleep will also play<br />
a part in your memories of the trip. imagine being able to<br />
create memories while you are sleeping. sleeping late,<br />
too, for that matter. so start planning now. ask yourself<br />
the question. But don’t set your alarm clock.<br />
accommodation on a journey is often about<br />
convenience. central location, close to<br />
everything and easy to reach from the main<br />
thoroughfare. Quick and easy jump into<br />
bed, soft pillows and hearty breakfast. then<br />
quickly on your way to new adventures. other<br />
times, your accommodation is part of the<br />
total experience. an unexpected place, an<br />
out of the ordinary room or really excellent<br />
service. or perhaps your accommodation<br />
is part of the activity. that is the thing. that<br />
is what we’ve been thinking in skellefteå.<br />
centrally-located hotels, camping sites of<br />
quality and exciting overnight stays. and at<br />
times perhaps a mixture of everything.<br />
wherever you stay when in skellefteå you<br />
have a mission – the important mission of<br />
anyone staying away from home – to sleep as<br />
late as possible without missing breakfast.<br />
accommodation<br />
byskE Havsbad<br />
a holiday paradise for the hole family. a five-star<br />
campsite located where the västerbotten coast<br />
is at its most beautiful. heated outdoor bathing<br />
and water chutes or broad sandy beaches – you<br />
just have to choose.<br />
sTifTsgårdEn<br />
visit the cultural riches of stiftsgården vicarage<br />
and feel the history in a traditional environment.<br />
there is plenty of youth hostel and hotel accommodation<br />
in the area. words only say so much<br />
– most of it needs to be experienced.<br />
QualiTy HoTEl<br />
skEllEfTEå sTadsHoTEll<br />
the hotel is located in the heart of skellefteå,<br />
and is a modern full service hotel. with its<br />

comfortable feeling between new and old design<br />

Living Nature<br />
waiting to be<br />
experienced.<br />
few places have so little distance between the conveniences<br />
of a city and the experiences found in nature<br />
as skellefteå. this goes for the whole of norrland, of<br />
course, but it’s especially apparent here. sit on a rock<br />
looking over the water and contemplating life’s mysteries,<br />
catch a lively salmon or find your first matsutake<br />
mushroom. things that are well worth talking about, but<br />
which are at their best in their natural habitat. in reality.<br />
in our fantastic nature.<br />
nature is not close to skellefteå. it is<br />
skellefteå that is close to nature. to put<br />
it simply, a town in the midst of nature.<br />
take two areas that are absolutely glorious<br />
in the summer – nordanå and vitberget<br />
– both centrally located and extremely<br />
popular with the people of skellefteå themselves.<br />
salmon fishing, look-out points,<br />
walking areas, picnic spots, mushroom<br />
forests, sports arenas or whatever you<br />
want to do. nature has set it all up. and you<br />
do not even need to go there. you are there<br />
already. and that is still only the beginning.<br />
the whole of the coastal strip is full of<br />
places well worth discovering – not least<br />
Bjuröklubb offering history and culture worthy<br />
of several excursions with memorable<br />
experiences where land meets sea.<br />
it seems obvious that the most heavily<br />
forested district in västerbotten offers all<br />
the forest’s experiences. ancient natural<br />
woodland and gigantic trees are found<br />
together with treasures such as berries<br />
and mushrooms, among which you will<br />
discover gems such as cloudberries,<br />
arctic raspberries and tricholoma goliath<br />
mushrooms, a swedish variation on the<br />
Japanese matsutake.<br />
Let yourself be overwhelmed by everything<br />
that nature has to offer you. and when<br />
after a day’s experiences you are longing<br />
for some creature comforts, the town is<br />
there – in the middle of nature.<br />
nature<br />
svansElE dammängar<br />
hay meadows along the winding petikån<br />
stream. in 1825 a special technology was<br />
invented to dam the area and use ice and<br />
water to fertilise and purify the land. today<br />
these meadows are unique. in springtime bird<br />
life thrives and in late summer hay is cut and<br />
dried like in the olden days.<br />
viTbErgsområdET<br />
a natural area close to town with forests of a<br />
wilderness character and wide range of outdoor<br />
activities. enjoy walking in the natural environment,<br />
picking berries and mushrooms, go jogging<br />
or why not try the new mountain bike trail?<br />
bJurÖklubb<br />
Bjuröklubb’s history stretches right back to<br />
when the mountain rose from the sea 4,000<br />
years ago. during the Bronze age, when sea<br />
level was around 30 metres higher than today,<br />
there were temporary settlements here.<br />
information<br />
our nature and culture guide is crammed with<br />
inspiration and facts on the theme of nature.<br />
www.skelleftea.se/naturkulturguiden<br />

ancient remains. people have lived in this area since<br />
the inland ice retreated around 10,000 years ago and<br />
left traces of their existence in the form of ancient remains.<br />
the many pit traps bear witness to the fact that<br />
elk hunting was an important activity and, on the outskirts<br />
of the archipelago, seal hunters and fishermen<br />
left stone circle remains of structures and ancient<br />
labyrinths. a large number of impressive Bronze age<br />
barrows are evident but not all ancient remains are as<br />
easy to detect. if you are interested, a great deal of<br />
information can be found at skellefteå museum.<br />
bjursjöaltaret, n18. one of the newest nature reserves<br />
in the area. the area includes magical ancient<br />
woodland, majestic views and the deep Lake Bjursjön<br />
which is said to be home to a mysterious aquatic creature.<br />
there are two peaks, yttre and inre Bjursjöaltaret.<br />
yttre offers an endless beautiful view, 124 precipitous<br />
metres above Lake Bjursjön.<br />
bjuröklubb, r16. with its beautiful coastal setting<br />
and distinctive cultural environment, Bjuröklubb is an<br />
important area for people who want to enjoy the outdoor<br />
life. here you will find an enormous area of flat rocks,<br />
extensive sand dunes, shingle banks and footpaths<br />
that take you through the forests to coastal “gems”.<br />
brännberget, o16. the calcerous bedrock of<br />
kågedalen has created the perfect habitat for the<br />
Lady’s slipper, one of the largest orchids in sweden,<br />
which grows prolifically in this area. around ten other<br />
orchids can be found here, including the calypso and<br />
fragrant orchids. it is important to coincide your visit<br />
with the appropriate time of year: the calypso comes<br />
into bloom between april and may, the Lady’s slipper<br />
in the second half of June and the fragrant at the beginning<br />
of July – just to name a few.<br />
brännliden, n9. nature reserve featuring fairy-tale<br />
ancient woodland with 250-400 year old trees draped<br />
with hanging lichen. here you will find a number of<br />
plants and animals associated with primeval forests.<br />
the nature reserve is only 100 metres from the main<br />
road and is an excellent excursion destination.<br />
burehällorna, Q15. this nature conservation area<br />
is best reached by boat although the elevation of the<br />
land has created a narrow connection with the mainland<br />
so the area can also be reached on foot. here you<br />
will find beautiful smooth rocks, sandy beaches and<br />
shingle banks. a perfect destination for sun, sea and<br />
sand or barbecues on a peaceful summer’s evening.<br />
caves and caverns. in addition to the previously<br />
mentioned robbers’ cave. trollkyrkan in vebomark<br />
consists of passages between rocks and is some 20<br />
metres long. Legend has it that the boulders were<br />
thrown here by a troll, hence the name. a more likely<br />
explanation is that the cave was created by inland<br />
ice, earthquakes and ocean waves. Lobergsgrottan<br />
in Bygdsiljum is 100 metres long, of which 70 are accessible.<br />
a story tells of a brave huntsman with a gun<br />
with a brass pipe who never missed his target. Before<br />
his death, he was said to have hidden his weapon in<br />
this cave. although these caves are considered to be<br />
safe, we advise you to wear a helmet and don’t forget<br />
a torch!<br />
Europe’s longest avenue of birch trees, n17. Between<br />
avaborg and Bygdeträsk, a distance of approximately<br />
10 kilometres, extends an avenue of birches<br />
with a total of approximately 1,300 birch trees. planned<br />
in the summer of 1934, the area is now classed as<br />
a cultural environment of national interest.<br />
finnforsrövarnas grotta, m14. tales of robbers in<br />
the finnforsberget area are legion. one tells the story<br />
of gunilla, a woman who disappeared from medle at<br />
the beginning of the 16th century. when she returned<br />
three years later, she told how she had been taken<br />
captive by robbers in this cave in finnforsberget.<br />
wilderness and ancient woodlands just around the corner.<br />

fällforsen, o10. in the middle of fällfors, the Byske<br />
river bursts through a precipitous and narrow passage<br />
causing the water to rush through with extra<br />
turbulence. the salmon ladder on the southern side is<br />
the main fishway and, during the summer months, regular<br />
fishing demonstrations are given with large bag<br />
nets. on the northern side, a new fishway has been<br />
constructed with an observatory where spectators<br />
can watch through a thick glazed wall to see what happens<br />
beneath the river’s turbulent surface.<br />
gärdefjärden, Q18. this was a bay 500 years ago<br />
but elevation of the land has created a perfect lake for<br />
birds with more than 140 different species recorded.<br />
the area is grazed by mountain cattle that play an important<br />
role in the management of the nature reserve.<br />
paths adapted for people with disabilities, outlook<br />
tower with ramp.<br />
Jätteasparna forest, n15. two kilometres south<br />
of skråmträsk lies one of the most remarkable forest<br />
areas in sweden. Broad, rugged trunks and extremely<br />
high, extensive tree canopy structures – over time,<br />
the thick rough bark of the giant aspens has played<br />
host to an abundance of lichens, mosses and insects.<br />
the still vigorous aspens are nearly 300 years old and<br />
probably the oldest examples in sweden.<br />
The mareograph, p12. furuögrund is the land<br />
elevation centre of scandinavia with the land rising at<br />
a rate of 91.6 cm per hundred years. the mareograph<br />
measures the rise and fall of the water several times a<br />
day, which is unique as it is a manual instrument.<br />
marranäsvältan, fällfors, o10. Just south of<br />
fällfors village is västerbotten’s grand canyon. an<br />
underground creek has created an enormous canyon,<br />
160 metres long and up to 50 metres deep. constant<br />
erosion means that the canyon continues to grow with<br />
every passing year.<br />
mushrooms. the skellefteå region has many different<br />
types of forest and, consequently, a large<br />
variety of delicious mushrooms. in the pine heath<br />
forests you will find ceps, sand boletus, boletus luteus<br />
and the exclusive tricholoma goliath, also known as<br />
matsutake. the coniferous forests are home to yellow<br />
chanterelles, funnel chanterelles, white hedgehog<br />
mushrooms and pore fungi. in marshy conditions<br />
you will find västerbotten’s province mushroom, the<br />
gypsy mushroom or rozites caperata. those who are<br />
unsure about identification can go on a fungus foray<br />
with a mushroom consultant, see page 11.<br />
ostviksfjärden’s grazed coastal meadows, p13.<br />
15 km north of skellefteå, the sea is visible from<br />
highway e4 once again. the area has been restored<br />
and now consists of 55 hectares of coastal meadows,<br />
grazed by cattle and sheep from early summer to late<br />
autumn. two observation towers, one of which is accessible<br />
by wheelchair. a fascinating spot to see resting<br />
birds during the spring and autumn migrations,<br />
while summer guests include Lapwings and curlews.<br />
petroglyphs at finnforsberget, m14. as recently<br />
as 2006, a rock face with wall paintings was discovered<br />
at finnforsberget outside Boliden. the figures<br />
depict some 15 fish as well as elk, making the find<br />
unique. the rock paintings are approximately 4,000<br />
years old. the area is relatively inaccessible.<br />
rare plants. the area surrounding skellefteå is<br />
home to a jungle of ferns the height of a man and tall<br />
herbaceous shrubs as well as vascular plants that are<br />
rarely seen elsewhere in the country. orchids such as<br />
the calypso and Lady’s slipper can be found in several<br />
locations and the rare “finnrosen” grows in protected<br />
conditions in one of our many nature reserves.<br />
The ravine landscape of the skellefte river.<br />
there are several ravine forests between klutmark<br />
and krångfors, exciting landscapes the length of the<br />
creeks running out into the river. two examples are<br />
nysvidjeberget and Brubäcken.<br />
right of public access. thanks to the law, you can<br />
go virtually anywhere you like in the swedish countryside<br />
and choose from a multitude of opportunities for<br />
enjoying the outdoor life in sweden. But remember<br />
to take responsibility for the natural environment and<br />
wildlife and consider the interests of landowners and<br />
other visitors. more information can be obtained from<br />
skellefteå tourist office.<br />
skellefte river by boat. the river is quite an experience<br />
from its banks but even more so when sitting in<br />
a boat. you can sail on relatively large boats to Bergsbydammen,<br />
where the lock chamber measures 12 x<br />
4 metres. the river trip takes you through a beautiful,<br />
wooded landscape. at several points, such as småälvarna,<br />
you may well be tempted to take a detour that<br />
can only be navigated by small boats with outboard<br />
motors. in skellefteå, you can moor in one of the guest<br />
stations on the north quay, between the first two road<br />
bridges. detailed information is given in the route description<br />
available from skellefteå tourist office.<br />
skellefte river in the city, p14. the mighty skellefte<br />
river is a central and important part of skellefteå<br />
city. it is scattered with small islands and islets, and is<br />
the starting point for wonderful walks. from the city<br />
centre, through the cultural heart and nordanå all the<br />
way to scenic hiking trails.<br />
svansele water meadows, l12. hay meadows<br />
along the winding petikån stream. in 1825 a special<br />
technology was invented to dam the area and use ice<br />
and water to fertilise and purify the land. today these<br />
meadows are unique. in springtime bird life thrives<br />
and in late summer hay is cut and dried like in the<br />
olden days.<br />
Tjärnbergsheden, o15. halfway between skellefteå<br />
and Burträsk you will find a natural forest that is<br />
one of the richest in species in the province. covering<br />
100 hectares, the relatively untouched forest landscape<br />
includes everything from meagre pine-clad hills<br />
to imposing primeval spruce trees and wetlands. the<br />
northern part of the forest features ancient trees draped<br />
with hanging lichen – some as much as 250 years<br />
old – while the southern part has marshier ground<br />
with equally old spruce. the area is relatively level and<br />
easy to walk in.<br />
vitbergen, kalvträsk, l15. the largest natural<br />
forest area in the whole of västerbotten and a real<br />
wilderness. the area is extremely hilly and has knotty<br />
pines, broad aspens and lichen-covered spruce. you<br />
may be lucky and see a golden eagle as well as a capercaillie.<br />
there are several paths and tracks and the<br />
size of the area may well tempt you to rough it for the<br />
night and put up a tent.<br />
vitbergsområdet, l12, skellefteå. with forests of<br />
a wilderness character and a wide range of outdoor<br />
activities, vitberget is an area just north of central<br />
skellefteå where even the briefest of visits will take<br />
you through barren stony ground, dense spruce forest<br />
and mysterious bogland. the area also features<br />
sparse pillar pine forest and a couple of beautiful,<br />
black woodland meres.<br />
vithatten, k10. the second highest mountain in<br />
the area and a nature reserve rich in bird life. marshy<br />
ground rich in vegetation and a number of old barns<br />
and hay-drying racks. dating from the 1800s, the<br />
area also features a settlement on the east side of the<br />
mountain that is associated with a number of thrilling<br />
ghost stories.<br />
wild berries. during late summer and autumn, the<br />
forests are carpeted with a large variety of wild berries.<br />
one of the first forest berries of the season is<br />
the golden cloudberry which ripens at the end of July.<br />
arctic raspberries grow in July and august along the<br />
beaches, ancient meadows and woodland paths.<br />
raspberries, blueberries, lingonberries, sea buckthorn<br />
and cranberries are other delicacies waiting to<br />
be picked.<br />

is there a västerbotten storytelling tradition? torgny Lindgren at<br />
the storytelling festival in skellefteå – the storytelling town.<br />
photo: destination skellefteå<br />
Impression of<br />
expression.<br />
what makes culture really culture and what makes it<br />
interesting is in many ways down to the observer.<br />
and in skellefteå it is worthwhile to both observe and<br />
experience. Be amazed, fascinated and lose yourself in<br />
some of the many expressions of culture. you will soon<br />
be immersed in a vibrant cultural life of impressions,<br />
expressions and variations you were not prepared for.<br />
the nordanå cultural centre is clearly at<br />
the heart of the cultural life of skellefteå.<br />
the complex includes skellefteå museum,<br />
skellefteå konsthall, meijersamlingen and<br />
the anna nordlander museum. in the same<br />
area, you will find handens hus, a forum for<br />
wood carvers and crafts people in skellefteå.<br />
and every summer the centre is the<br />
venue of the trästock music festival while<br />
an annual summer production is staged by<br />
västerbottensteatern.<br />
it can be hard, of course, to put your finger<br />
on what created the rich cultural output<br />
of rural skellefteå. But the urge for self<br />
expression has also given us a large literary<br />
legacy. sara Lidman, Birger wikström, p-o<br />
enquist, martin Lönnebo, göran Lundin and<br />
anita salomonsson, to mention just some<br />
of our most widely read authors. But the<br />
skellefteå region also has a long tradition<br />
of oral storytelling, both on stage and<br />
around the campfire. so if you want to step<br />
into sara Lidman’s hjortronland, wander<br />
through p o enquist’s childhood memories<br />
or experience the narratives delivered at<br />
the storytelling festival, you can do this in<br />
skellefteå – the storytellers’ city.<br />
a cultural personality has grown up in<br />
almost every town and village in the region.<br />
many have taken this cultural legacy under<br />
their wing and created small museums and<br />
exhibitions around these individuals. take<br />

Children<br />
Travelling with children is only for the truly brave. it can mean<br />
demanding – but enjoyable – holidays. and, of course, you always come to<br />
that old saw. if the children are happy, you’re happy. families with children<br />
have special requirements. Buildings must be accessible to buggies. children<br />
need plenty of activities to keep them busy. Journeys by car need to be kept<br />
to a minimum. as well as all the necessary juggling involved in everyday life.<br />
that leaves you with very little time to find out what there is to do. which is<br />
why we have put together this quick guide for you.<br />

Adventure<br />
theme:<br />
some enjoy lying in the sun and lazing away on the beach. others stay<br />
in their hotel bed as long as possible. some like to get out and see new things.<br />
and yet another group aren’t even satisfied with that. they like to be challenged.<br />
they are adventurers. they need the adrenalin. or simply fresh air. we all have<br />
our own definition of an adventure. But there has to be at least some element of<br />
a challenge involved. skellefteå boasts a full spectrum of natural adventures and<br />
motor sport that come in many shapes and sizes.<br />
1 byske äventyr, Byske river. +46 (0)70-543 32 32,<br />
www.byskeaventyr.se. the challenge is a tough trip in a<br />
infatable raft through several wild rapids. a basic twoday<br />
course on kayaking in rapids includes swimming in<br />
rapids and the eskimo roll. those afraid of falling in the<br />
water, can try rapids surfing where you are already in<br />
the water with only a small board as an aid.<br />
2 flashpoint Events, Åbyn 41, Byske.<br />
+46 (0)70-297 84 22, www.flashpointevents.se. two<br />
paintball courses: for fast, explosive play, the gravel pit,<br />
a hilly course with obstacles in the form of car wrecks<br />
and piles of tyres. fields of fear is a bigger field for players<br />
who prioritise strategy and tactics. you should also<br />
have a go at the Bungie run and sumo wrestling!<br />
3 climbing. the region has several rock-climbing<br />
areas at different levels of difficulty with trails. route<br />
descriptions are given in klätterföraren via the link below.<br />
for example, falkberget, which is close to town<br />
and has four types of rock-climbing areas including<br />
several ”classic” ones, or häbbersberget in sandfors,<br />
three rock climbing areas offering list, Grundträsk pocket and<br />
crack climbing. at skellefteå kraft arena, there is also<br />
an indoor climbing wall that is an enormous 14 metres<br />
high and can be adjusted to change the angle of inclination.<br />
www.kfumskelleftea.se, +46 (0)910-108 58.<br />
Grundträsk<br />
4 nasaleden, forsbacka/krångfors to glommer-<br />
Gransjö<br />
sträsk. www.nasaleden.com. a hiking route of 78 kilometres<br />
that runs through varied terrain including<br />
Finnäs<br />
country roads, woodland and board-walked wetlands.<br />
take a tent, map and packed lunch and see how far<br />
your feet will take you!<br />
5 canoeing. the Byske river is a challeng<br />
ing stretch of water for canoeing and kayaking. glide<br />
to the rhythmic sound of your paddle strokes in the<br />
calm water, or defy the wild rapids that can be quite a<br />
challenge even for the experienced kayaker.<br />
6 sb crosscart, vikdal 32, skellefteå.<br />
+46 (0)70-628 33 05, www.sbcrosskart.se. actionpacked<br />
adventures behind the steering wheel in a firstclass<br />
crosskart with a top speed of approx. 60 km/h.<br />

can dare to go faster on the 500-metre-long track.<br />
drop-in sessions 1/7–17/8, every day 13–20. Book in<br />
advance for other times if you want the track for just<br />
you and your friends.<br />

Ice<br />
theme:<br />
and snow<br />
for much of the year, skellefteå is smothered in white. the blanket of<br />
snow covers people and buildings, making everything somehow softer. the<br />
light turns faint and darkness takes over. the landscape is illuminated by the<br />
moon and the stars. of course there’s a risk of dozing off in such splendour.<br />
the antidote to this is adrenaline-fuelled activities. and amazing outdoor<br />
experiences. those who wish to be woken up properly in midwinter will of<br />
course sign up for the scandinavian winter swimming championship when it<br />
is hosted in the city. this is the destination where you will find that little extra<br />
that is worth experiencing, keeping and returning to. time after time.<br />
1 downhill. there are ample opportunities for<br />
skiing, both near to the city and further afield. vitberget,<br />
in the city centre, klutmark with three slopes just<br />
around the corner. there is also the marvellous Bygdsiljumsbacken<br />
and the pride of Jörn, storklinta, within<br />
easy distance for a full-day excursion with hot chocolate,<br />
cheese sandwiches and brilliant winter sun.<br />

2 flarken adventure. in the little village of<br />
flarken, fabian and daphné found everything they<br />
had dreamt of. Big forests, enormous wide open<br />
spaces and, not least, a proper winter. take part<br />
in a dog sleigh adventure you will never forget.<br />
www.flarkenadventure.com<br />
3 ice fishing. there are many who think that<br />
fishing is just a summer activity. But they are wrong.<br />
when the water freezes over, this is merely a change<br />
in conditions for fish and anglers. in skellefteå there<br />
are lakes, coasts and ice fishing tournaments for<br />
inspired winter fishermen.<br />
www.destinationskelleftea.se/icefishing<br />
4 ice racing. +46 (0)70-248 18 95. cars may be<br />
hired in the winter. groups of 5–15 people are perfect<br />
for this activity, a fun-filled programme in which a<br />
winner is eventually crowned. prebooking required.<br />
9 ice skating rink at nordanå. in the heart of<br />
skellefteå, in the nordanå cultural area, sits the<br />
newly-laid ice skating rink. take a break from shopping,<br />
throw on a pair of ice skates and glide around on<br />
the sparkling natural ice under the northern lights to<br />
the sound of sweet music. www.skelleftea.se/nordana<br />

Fishing<br />
The salmon is there in the river waiting. for what, who can tell.<br />
it should be biting, of course. now. or now. or… now!<br />
there are two sorts of people. one who loves the excitement and natural<br />
experience of fishing. while the other stopped reading a long time ago.<br />
skellefteå’s fishing grounds conceal elderly pike, shiny salmon and vigorous<br />
grayling. with more than 1,500 lakes, five large estuaries and 420 kilometres<br />
of coastline, there are plenty of opportunities for you to find a fishing spot of<br />
your own. there is a total of 30 different species of indigenous fresh and salt<br />
water fish in the area. and they’re all waiting.<br />

6 kåge river. as little brother to the Byske river<br />
and the smallest forest river in the province, the kåge<br />
river is an intimate and delightful acquaintance.<br />
stocked with salmon and sea trout, it is well worth a<br />
visit particularly after a sudden downpour of summer<br />
rain. popular fishing spots along the river include:<br />
kvarnforsen in kåge and kvarfallet in kusmark, possibly<br />
the most visited fishing spots on the river.<br />
7 skellefte river. they say it’s difficult to catch<br />
salmon. But not always. not in the skellefteå river and<br />
not in the centre of town. the parts of the skellefteå<br />
river near to town are well-populated by many fishermen<br />
after salmon and sea trout during spring and autumn.<br />
But even the pike is in a special class. all of the islands<br />
and islets in the river makes excellent hunting grounds<br />
for the really big pikes. the stretches around rovön are<br />
particularly suitable for both fly and bait fishing.<br />

Sea<br />
theme:<br />
There is something special about the sea, we’re all agreed on that.<br />
and being close to the sea has certainly given the region a distinctive character<br />
both as a recreational area and in terms of its commercial importance.<br />
the long coastal strip gives the visitor opportunities for experiencing<br />
the area through boat trips, fishing, sunbathing, being close to nature, etc.<br />
enjoy atmospheric walks in some of the small harbours or appreciate how<br />
the wind and weather demonstrate their power. experience the sea in your<br />
own particular way.<br />

<strong>Skellefteå</strong>,<br />
– part of Swedish<br />
Lapland<br />
skellefteå is the southern outpost of swedish Lapland,<br />
right by the gulf of Bothnia coast. 200 km south of the<br />
arctic circle and just over 800 km north of stockholm.<br />
or 55 minutes from the capital. By plane, that is. the<br />
seasons here are apparent and the contrasts are spectacular.<br />
this means cold and dark, but also warm and bright<br />
summer nights. not forgetting the city and the wilderness.<br />
skellefteå covers an area of 71,217 km 2<br />
and is home to around 71,000 people –<br />
which translates to about 10 people/km 2 .<br />
that’s what the statistics say. in reality, of<br />
course, the population is not evenly spread<br />
over the landscape. people are concentrated<br />
in the towns and cities, leaving the<br />
countryside for other things. from a visitor’s<br />
perspective, that is actually no bad thing.<br />
it means 2.2 inhabitants/square kilometre<br />
in the skellefteå countryside, which means<br />
space. plenty of space. forests, lakes and<br />
streams, cliffs, marshes and open spaces<br />
combine to create a dynamic and unique<br />
arena for different experiences. But it<br />
isn’t just the nature. there is also a city<br />
just around the corner. a modern city on a<br />
small scale. it offers most of the things you<br />
would expect in terms of good community<br />
services, good transport links and a thriving<br />
restaurant and cultural scene.<br />
skellefteå also stands out as a progressive<br />
city with ambitions for the future. proof of<br />
this can be seen by the way we extract biogas<br />
from household waste, are leading the<br />
way in new, sustainable ways of construction<br />
with wood, while also harbouring a cluster of<br />
world-class creative media companies.<br />
But no matter how interesting a place is,<br />
the ability to get there is essential. skellefteå<br />
airport is the gateway to swedish Lapland,<br />
with departures from stockholm, girona/<br />
Barcelona in spain and karleby in finland.<br />
plus, of course, there are the night trains<br />
and long distance buses. so whether<br />
skellefteå is a stopover or your final destination;<br />
whether you live in northern sweden<br />
and want to see the world or are coming<br />
here from southern europe, skellefteå is<br />
your natural gateway to the world, to<br />
swedish Lapland and to experiences.<br />
