Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikivoyage or other free sources online. Norrland, the northern half of Sweden, is remote enough that travellers here aren t likely to see the tour-bus crowd or, for that matter, much of anyone else. Norrland is one of three lands of Sweden besides Svealand and Götaland. It encompasses two-thirds of the country´s surface, but no more than 12 per cent of its population; currently about 1.15 million. The region is characterized by forests, mountains, rivers, mines, a harsh winter climate, long distances, as well as university towns with young populations. This book offers information on Norrland and its most notable places.
