Norrbotten County


Norrbotten, known in English as North Bothnia, is a Swedish province in northernmost Sweden. It borders south to Västerbotten, west to Swedish Lapland, and east to Finland....

Örebro is a city with 117,543 inhabitants, the seat of Örebro Municipality and the capital of Örebro County in Sweden. It is the seventh largest city in Sweden and one of the largest inland hubs of the country. It is located near the lake of Hjälmaren, although a few kilometres inland along the small river Svartån. Örebro is home to Örebro University, a major university hospital, a medieval castle, the water park Gustavsvik as well as several large shopping malls and the Oset-Rynningeviken nature reserve at the lakefront. One of the tourist attractions of this country is the Lappish nature, very little anthropized. The Kungsleden, a trekking of about 800 kilometers that runs from north to south, allows the amateurs of big spaces to evolve in the almost virgin landscapes. Isbanan and Abisko National Park are also very famous for hiking.
