The trails offer another outdoor activity alongside the lakes, fishing and seasonal use of the landscape.

Vittertrappan Nearby

This adds a specific point of interest in the surrounding landscape to the lakes and outdoor activities. The approximate distance and the length of the formation can help you consider Vittertrappan as a destination in its own right.

Helmer Grundström and Literature

Helmer Grundström was the first writer from Västerbotten to achieve national literary significance. The Helmer Grundström Society is based in Svanabyn and promotes the study of his literary work, his life and the historical worlds of his time in various ways. For travellers interested in literature and culture, this focus offers a different perspective from the area's nature attractions. The subject encompasses not only his writing, but also Grundström himself and the worlds of his time.
