Be enchanted by eastern Swedish Lapland w e lc o m e t o e a s t e r n s w e d i s h l a p l a n d . Enjoy the hospitality. It is said that each place has its own charm, and no one would disagree when we say that eastern Swedish Lapland is a very charming place indeed, with plenty of small picturesque islands in the archipelago with magnificent scenery as well as a fascinating history. Locals inviting guests for a dance on a balmy summer evening and children playing outdoors making friends for life, are not rare sights. That truly is holiday at its best - uncomplicated, peaceful and absolutely wonderful. The main attraction in this area is in fact nature itself. In the summertime you’ll experience the famous Midnight Sun. The sun won’t stop shining and darkness is banished. It may mess up your sleeping pattern, spending nights in daylight, but believe us when we say - you don’t want to miss out on this experience! Why not make the most of it by heading to the river for some midnight fishing? This is a place of rich culture and vibrant minority languages: Finnish, Meänkieli and Sami are all spoken alongside Swedish. The five main destinations in the region are: Kalix, Haparanda, Övertorneå, Pajala and Överkalix, all located at a convenient distance from each other. In other words - you have time to explore the whole region while you’re here. Read Swedish actor Rafael Edholm’s story of how he fell in love with Överkalix. How come an actor who’s travelled all over the world prefers eastern Swedish Lapland above all other places he’s visited? Let the locals’ warm hearts remind us that everybody matters - we’re all important and equal. Let the culinary flavours guide you between the different destinations. You’ll find traditional dishes on the menu such as reindeer, moose, grouse and capercaillie served with freshly picked berries. The local cuisine is diverse with natural ingredients of highest quality, straight from the forest. Local produced at its finest... Why not let cranberries, blueberries, cloudberries or perhaps arctic raspberries wrap up the perfect meal? You can’t leave Kalix without having tried Kalix bleak roe (Kalix löjrom), an exclusive local delicacy that simply can’t be missed!

Övertorneå Have you ever jumped across the Arctic Circle? You have to give that a try when you’re here, what a feeling! Övertorneå lives up during the summer and attracts visitors with its traditional culture and charm. Just about 10 kilometers south of Övertorneå you will find Luppioberget which makes the perfect daytrip for the whole family with its magnificent surroundings and views. It is like God himself would have built a stone fort of Luppioberget. And if you happen to be here on Midsummer Eve, the Luppio giant who is said to live inside the mountain, may show himself to greet the first rays of sunshine. There are many myths and legends linked to this place. Nowadays there is a restaurant up on the mountain, and do we need to mention the view is spectacular? Bring the whole family to Luppioberget for an adventurous outing - and do not forget your camera. The children’s favorite is of course the lovely Ekobadet with heated outdoor pool, water slides and children’s pool - the bath is located in the center of Övertorneå. We also recommend you to visit Övertorneå church, where you can see the oldest organ in Sweden. Take the opportunity to learn more about the culture here in Torne River Valley, and enjoy the summer in Övertorneå!

HaparandaTornio HaparandaTornio is booming in the summer, and Kukkola-forsen live up like never before. Try the ancient fishing tradition which involves a net with a long shaft, or join a guided tour in the fishing museum and sauna museum. To see what everyday life is like in HaparandaTornio, you have to try living there just as the locals do – with one foot in each country, Sweden and Finland. Eavesdrop, and maybe you can perceive the difference between Finnish and the minority language known as Meänkieli? Did you know that Haparanda Church has gained a reputation for being Sweden’s ugliest? Perhaps it is precisely because of this controversial structure this church has become one of Haparanda’s major attractions! The food culture is characterized by locally produced meat and fish, natural ingredients of the highest quality. Many restaurants to choose from, but you should definitely visit Hulkoffgården for a nice dinner in a beautiful setting. Or leave the mainland for a day and head out to the Bay of Bothnia pearl, Seskarö, located in Haparanda archipelago. Visit the White Guide listed restaurant Seskarö Wärdshus and experience their food which is well-known all along the coast. Welcome to HaparandaTornio, everything you need for an idyllic summer holiday in the north.

moments

Ö v e r k a l i x . From shooting films to

playing ice hockey for Team Salming against Överkalix IK. Börje Salming was indeed playing, as well as many other legends. I’ve been sauna bathing in Ängesån and felt the warmth of the midnight sun. Test driven a Harley Davidson and even driven a hot rod whilst singing “Smoke on the water”. I’ve scared anglers by shoving old stubs in order to create fake bear traces. Been paddling a Canadian canoe in Kamelunge, confessed my sins to Pohjanaen in Sirillius church. Starred in the play “Miss Julie” at Brännaberget one Midsummer’s eve (I left my theatre costume in Stockholm - as I was so eager to get to Överkalix that I only packed my fishing tools and forgot everything else - true story). Been fishing salmon with Mikkey Dee from Motörhead at Arctic Range, and done a whole lot of mischief that’s not suitable for print, so I think we’ll stop here…! The first time I saw Överkalix when driving across Hällabron, was in early June 1999. I was on my way up north to shoot a film in the wilderness, “Järngänget”. The film was directed by Jon Lindström and starred Alexander Skarsgård, Josephine Bornebusch, Marika Lagercrantz, as well as the now deceased actors Per Oscarsson who played my father and Emil Forselius who played my younger brother. The brilliant Jens Fischer was there to catch each moment on film. I was already fantasizing, even the name ÖVERKALIX mesmerized me, and to be able to film in these incredibly beautiful surroundings was like a dream. Having an X in a name, a town name, really impresses me. The fact that I’ve always loved nature and never minded long walks out in the wilderness, preferably with a fishing rod in my hand, didn’t make things worse. This was the start of the adventure. I’ve always loved Norrland and its people. When I first arrived in Norrbotten at Kallax Airport, yet another X, my heart skipped a beat. I had yearned to travelled there ever since I was little, having read numerous articles about the fishing, the famous salmon fishing in particular. When driving from Luleå I could feel the excitement already. This was where I was going to spend almost two months and a big part of me felt at home already. I entered the Grand Arctic Hotel holding a bunch of fishing rods and waders. The hotel resembled a palace in the middle of the outback. There I was treated to such hospitality by everyone. From my understanding that hospitality still lives on as the hotel now lets refugees enjoy the fantastic location and the stunning views. That’s HUGE, and something I know that the locals in Överkalix are immensely proud of. They always want to show

visitors the best side of Överkalix. I recall all the gifts I’ve received, from filming in Sanningslandet where we were offered freshly made pancakes with cloudberry, the gold of the forest, to the day I was to catch my first salmon of 10 kilo using a fly rod in Ängesån. Yeah that’s actually how it happened – it was a gift. Ronny Carlsson, renowned salmon fisherman and fly fishing guru brought me out to Ängesån. We walked to the spot he calls “Hällan”, you’d be surprised by how many salmon were caught – in total it was about 14. When Ronny had a salmon on the hook he asked calmly: “Do you want to try?” Of course I do, I thought to myself and grabbed the rod with shivering hands. With a whistling sound, 25 metres of line flew out, then another 25 metres. When will this end (?) I thought before Ronny leaned over, cigarette in his hand, saying “It’s probably not so small after all.” An hour later a 10 kilo salmon lay on “Hällan”. The following day this fish was served to the film crew, prepared by the film chef number 1, Bengt “the king” Karlsson, whom was instantly employed as our chef. He served me my first “Klämma” with potatoes, onion, sour cream and fermented herring. Before this I’d always avoided this type of food, but Bengt managed to change my mind. Consider yourself lucky if you get to experience food made in Bengt’s muurikka where everything from culinary Mediterranean specialties to local wild stews have been prepared. You could write a novel about this man! It’s such a lovely feeling to slowly move along the Kalix River in Bengt’s warm sauna, with the midnight sun as the backdrop. When in Överkalix you might also be lucky enough to meet the funniest man in Sweden, and I’m not talking about Robert Gustavsson or the other people calling themselves comedians, but Jocke Andersson from Vännäs, or Kron which he’s sometimes called. I was lucky to get him to play one of the big parts in “Babas Bilas” which I wrote and directed. Well, if I’m to sum up Överkalix, it’s not that hard: I love it and I long to be there when I’m not there. Plus, now I know where to find them - the 10 kilos salmons in Ängesån! These places are well worth a visit: Bengt’s sauna raft (River Rafter), Vippabacken, the Tractor Museum and Jockfall. Learn the art of fly-fishing from Erling Holmström and Ronny Landin. Or just do what I usually do; visit Kron and put a note on the table saying “I’ve gone to the woods, not sure when I’ll be back – Kisses // R.”

The Archipelago

SUN, SEA AND ARCHIPELAGO

psst!

Did you know that Kalix and Haparanda archipelago together have just over 440 kilometres of coastline? That’s approximately the same distance as the route between Stockholm and Gothenburg by car. Most of Haparanda archipelago is a national park with a rich bird life and magnificent scenery. One tip is to take the tour boat over to Sandskär or if you prefer to go by car - cross the bridge to the island of Seskarö. These are only two of the archipelago’s many gems. Kalix river meets the sea in the centre of Kalix – it’s such a lovely feeling to stop for a moment and imagine this place during the timber industrial era, when logs from the entire river stretch gathered right here, at the mouth of the sea. This is a place where freshwater meet brackish water, creating a unique terroir which gives Kalix bleak roe its very own characteristic. It has a status of Protected Designation of Origin, issued by the European Union (same as Champagne and Parma ham) and is in fact the only Swedish product with

the PDO status. So, don’t leave Kalix without having tried Kalix bleak roe - there’s no better place to try it! Many visitors choose to go fishing by boat as it gives you a different sense of freedom; as there are so many islands, you can even find your very own island for fishing. If you don’t have access to a boat, it’s perfectly fine to fish along the coast. This is especially rewarding in the beginning of the summer if you are pike fishing. Every year plenty of pikes measuring over 100 centimeters are caught here. Another exciting fishing opportunity in the archipelago is dry fly fishing for grayling. There is a good chance to catch both whitefish and trout in the fall. It’s easy to find your own favorite spot in one of the many islands and cays. Not only does the surroundings of the archipelago feel almost magical, it’s something special about the fresh air and the waters. It creates a great feeling of wellbeing. This region is also one of the areas in Sweden most prone to sunshine, which makes the experience even more enticing.

Mini-submarine Did you know that the only mini submarine that Sweden’s ever owned, “Spiggen”, nowadays can be found safely preserved on land at the port Töre Hamn? 8

The red gold of the Bothnian Bay

The huge flow of fresh water from the rivers in the northern area make up for the world’s largest brackish water archipelago between Haparanda archipelago and south of Piteå. This is the only place where the vendace provide the exclusive and yellowish caviar - Kalix löjrom - also known as the red gold of the Bothnian Bay. The roe harvest normally starts mid-September and continues until the vendace are ready for spawning around late October. You can fish between the hours of 6am to 6pm. This is simply to prevent interfering with the reproduction. Trawling accounts for almost the entire fishing volume and occurs only in well-defined areas with limited permits for trawling.

Delicacy

Roe is considered a delicacy, not only in Sweden but around the world. It’s not uncommon to hear that “Kalix löjrom is of world class” which Stockholm Grande Hôtel’s reputable kitchen would agree with. It is the strictly maintained and consistently high level of quality that impresses the most. No other roe is as dry and firm as Kalix löjrom - not to forget the taste of course! It’s rich and hearty flavour of minerals and sea make it stand for something pure and genuine. To put it simply - this is a superb craftsmanship.

Roe Safari ‘from fish to dish’

If you’d like to be a Bothnian Bay fisherman for the day, and follow the journey of the Kalix löjrom from the sea to the making of a world class delicacy, look no further. At Land och Strand in Pålänge, you can book a spot on the Roe Safari - and it’s not like any other safari. It offers a package with lodging, caviar breakfast, full board and sauna in the local pub. For more information and reservations, please contact Land och Strand. www.landochstrand.se

FANCY A SWIM?

You can almost feel a tingling sensation in your body when you start riding the trolley on the disused railway Haparandabanan, filled with history. Although the trolley weights 60 kg, it is actually easier to ride than a bicycle - it moves very smoothly along the railway!

Haparandabanan starts in Morjärv and ends in Haparanda. If you want to you can pedal all the way, ninety striking kilometres, or opt for a shorter distance. The trolleys are based by the station in Vitvattnet and the path features forests, bridges, lakes and swamps - not a rare sight in these part of the woods. Bring a picnic basket or why not make a stop at one of the restaurants to enjoy lunch or perhaps a cup of coffee and start the railway journey with your family!

Fishing SALMON FISHING IN EASTERN NORRBOTTEN - How come you have become so interested in Swedish salmon fishing? Lars: To me, salmon fishing is about three things. The chance to catch a really big salmon, the beautiful nature with large wild rivers and two-handed fishing, preferably with a 15 foot fishing rod. Ronny: I was brought up close to the river, and my parents managed Jockfall camping during my entire childhood, therefore my interest in Swedish salmon fishing came naturally. - The salmon fishing has improved over the last couple of years, why do you think that is? Lars: A big part is the fact that both Sweden and Finland have put an end to professional fishing in the southern Baltic Sea, thanks to the efforts of Östersjölaxälvar and Sportfiskarna and their hard work against this type of fishing. In my opinion we’re not completely there yet, but we’re getting there and I have a positive outlook on the future. Ronny: Because of sea and coast regulations, and in addition people are getting better at releasing some of the fish that get caught. - How big was the biggest salmon you caught in Norrbotten in 2015? Lars: It was a real big piece at 111 cm, caught in the month of June. 2015 was a really good year for big salmon, practically all rivers saw big salmon. The lar12

Two men in particular have made sure that this area has reached international fame for salmon fishing. Lars Munk and Ronny Landin have been fishing salmon for many years, talking about salmon, thought about salmon, arranged guided tours and convinced many others to think about, you guessed right – salmon!

gest registered salmon as far as I know is the one that Kristian Stridsman caught at Kengis Bruk measuring 128 cm. Ronny: It was a 100 cm long male salmon from Jockfall. The salmon just couldn’t resist a Willy Gunn. - Do you sometimes bring salmon home with you, or do you release all fish that you catch? Lars: I usually bring home two salmon per seasons, mostly because my family loves it. Myself, I prefer eating moose. Ronny: I didn’t bring home any salmon for eating in 2015, but previously I’ve brought one home per season. - What’s your best tips for anyone who wants to experience the fishing in eastern Norrbotten? Lars: Make sure that you work on your throwing technique beforehand, as it’s a shame to spend your whole holiday practicing your throwing technique. Also, bring a well-stocked fly box with flies measuring from 2 to 10 cm. If it’s the first time you visit our rivers, contact a local guide! You don’t need a week’s guiding, but an introduction which teaches you about what’s been working and what areas have been extra productive recently can prove useful. The rivers in Norrland aren’t always easy to read. Ronny: Make sure you’ve got plenty of time, a two-day visit is not ideal. Speak with the locals as they can provide tips and tricks.

Here we can go fishing around the clock thanks to the light and balmy nights

If you prefer a more “hardcore” fishing experience, Jockfall might just be for you. The pools beneath this waterfall consists of big bays, making them the perfect resting place for salmon. If the salmon stays in this area, catching them isn’t that difficult. However, convincing the fish to stay there isn’t the easiest of tasks, which is why you’ll occasionally see people running across rocks to be able to catch the salmon before it makes its way back to the sea again. When it’s time for a meal we recommend a visit to the on-site restaurant where you can order a “jockfallare” amongst other dishes. The jockfallare is made of homemade soft thin bread, marinated salmon or venison stew, potatoe, clarified butter and onion. Jockfall camping offers accommodation and you can also buy your fishing license here.

Kangos – A paradise for fly-fishers With perfect conditions for fly-fishing, relatively shallow waters and a supply of large salmon, Lainio River has a lot to offer people who prefer to fish using floating lines and intermediate lines. Kengis Bruk – The Torne River’s best waters for fly-fishing? There is a fishing area of 2,5 km by Kengis Bruk. Fishing is operated from land between the two large rivers Kengis and Lappea. In this area you’ll find everything from holding pools to running pools, and the fishing is usually good during the entire season. Cabin accommodation is offered. www.kangos.com

Vary your fishing In eastern Swedish Lapland there’s also fantastic grayling and trout waters. Rajamaa in Muonionalusta has a Catch & Release stretch named Kinnerpuuska, the distance is just over two kilometres. Kinnerpuuska is an average of 25 metres wide and is particularly suitable for dry fly, caught here every year a lot of grayling on 50 cm.

Rajamaa is beautifully located on an island in the Muonio River and offer accommodation which is the perfect starting point for outdoor activities. Rajamaa arrange nature - focused activity weeks, with hiking, canoeing and mountain-bike. You’ll also find special family weeks, and a course in watercolor painting in Rajamaa’s program. www.rajamaa.com

Culture

EASTERN SWEDISH LAPLAND – A COLOURFUL REGION i t ’ s a c o lo u r f u l r e g i o n , e a s t e r n s w e d i s h lapland.

Perhaps that has to do with the fact that in days gone by the populations of the two river valleys were isolated, each on its own side of the mountain crest separating them. In those days the rivers were the transportation channels in both summer and winter and the obvious pantry year round. Settlements and villages grew up around the rivers, subsequently developing into meeting places and communities. Completely different languages have developed along both of the river valleys. By the river Kalix River, in Överkalix, Överkalixbondskan is one of the country’s most distinctive dialects. It differs markedly from the dialect spoken in the neighbouring municipality of Kalix. And in Tornedalen, Torne River Valley, a minority language known as Meänkieli, or “Torne Valley Finnish”, is spoken. It is closely related to Finnish. That’s fascinating, considering that only a few kilometres separate the two valleys. And in addition to these three languages, Swedish, Finnish and Sami also are spoken in the region. The border culture has many different aspects, and at Tornedalen Museum you can learn more about all of the dramatic historical events that have left their stamp on life in the area. The churches in eastern Swedish Lapland are unquestionably worth a tour of their very own. The

church in Kalix is, in fact, Sweden’s northernmost medieval church. In the Övertorneå church you can see and listen to Sweden’s oldest organ. And you will clearly see that the region has had, and continues to have, exchan- ges in an east-west direction when you visit the orthodox churches in Överkalix and Haparanda. Sauna culture is something of a religion of its own for eastern Swedish Lapland. Those who believed that there is only one way to bathe in a sauna have a lot to explore with us. Try your hand at distinguishing between an electric and wood-fired sauna, between a smoke sauna and a steam sauna. And don’t miss allowing the whisk of birch twigs to bring your skin back to life in the heat. Now that you are here in winter, it’s obligatory to jump right out in the snow, directly from the sauna without a stitch of clothing. Guaranteed rejuvenation. The handicrafts culture is strong, and the region’s very own hallmark is genuine and wellmade products of the highest quality. Look for Made in Kalix products and Kero’s supreme leather crafts in Sattajärvi. Or visit Simu Nordic in Övertorneå. Many tourist offices in the area sell local crafts and can tell you more about the many skilled artisans. Welcome to an exploration of the boundlessly interesting culture in eastern Swedish Lapland.

Kukkolaforsen - The kingThe man who’s all about dom of saunas and whitefish saunas It’s safe to say that what Svante Spolander doesn’t know about saunas, isn’t worth knowing. He was born and raised in Kukkola in the central parts of Torne Valley. Here the sauna is a natural part of everyday life; the place where life begins, where life goes on and where life ends.

Unique whitefish fishing with net Whitefish fishing in Kukkolaforsen is like no other fishing experience. The method used here originates from the 16th century and involves a net with a long shaft. This method is also unique from a geographical point of view – it’s only used in the Amazon River in Brazil and here in eastern Norrbotten! This method is normally used from the beginning of June through to mid-September.

- I use the sauna every day, it’s my life elixir. There I get to enjoy some peace and quiet for myself and get a chance to clear my head and regain energy, says Svante Spolander.

The locals of Kukkolaforsen are immensely proud of their history and culture. Join a guided tour through the beautiful village with its Fishing Museum and Sauna Museum. You’ll discover how the locals worked around and in the river over 500 years ago and still do (some fishing methods have actually stayed the same!). www.kukkolaforsen.se

Fancy trying this unique fishing method? At Kukkolaforsen Turist & Konferens guests are offered the opportunity to try this unique fishing experience. Net, fishing and instructor are catered for. Plus, you’ll get to keep all fish you catch during the hour! Though, you don’t need to fish yourself to be able to enjoy exquisite flavours. In the restaurant you can order various dishes prepared from local produce and fish caught in the area. How about grilled whitefish in herbal sauce or a roasted salmon?

In fact, one of Svante’s first childhood memories features the sauna. He recalls looking for his father and then found him and other men from the village in the public sauna. - As a little boy, at first this was a terrifying experience, all these men and the heat from the steam. The fear soon gave away for a sense of belonging that’s not very easy to explain. There in the heat, without a stitch of clothing, everyone’s the same: young or old, tall or short, Finnish or Swedish. All wrongs and arguments are left outside the sauna. The sauna is indeed a place for reconciliation and ever since that moment, the sauna has been in my heart, says Svante and puts his hand on his chest.

The local cuisine is diverse with natural ingredients of high quality, straight from the forest. Here you’ll find traditional dishes on the menu such as reindeer, moose, grouse and capercaillie served with freshly picked berries. Why not let cranberries, blueberries, cloudberries or perhaps Arctic raspberries wrap up the perfect meal? Fish is a local delicacy and a culinary must in this area. Salmon, grayling, whitefish and not to forget roe swimming in the clear blue waters decorate the gourmet menus - Kalix bleak roe (Kalix löjrom) is an exclusive local treasure that simply can’t be missed! Local cuisine differs from place to place in

Northern Sweden and this is something a foodie will notice. Locals refer to the border between Kalix and Torne River as a ”bread line”. An excellent opportunity to explore the different tastes between the Torne valley cornbread Rieska and the Kalix river Klådda made of wheat. Why not try coffee cheese? It’s a modern Lappish dessert made from cow’s beestings. The milk is curdled and set to form a disk and then baked in the oven which gives it its distinctive charred marks. Traditionally served in slices as a side dish with coffee (yes it’s true!) and if you’re lucky, it’s served with cloudberry jam on the side. One thing is certain around here, all destinations in the Heart of Lapland offer guests a real feast - and we welcome you to experience the amazing cuisine we are all so very proud of.

Hulkoffgården - Excellent food with a local touch

Curious about the special culture and nature of the Torne Valley? After visiting Hulkoffgården, you’ll know all about the gastronomic delights of this area. What used to be locally produced a long time ago, is still the local produce of today; cattle raised on ecological farms next to the restaurant. Delicious herbs, tomatoes, root vegetables, berries and lettuce have grown without the help of pesticides. The fish has been caught in the river and dairy products such as milk, cream and butter have also been locally produced. As far as local produce goes, it doesn’t get much better than this. www.hulkoff.se

Arvids Steakhouse - The new star on Kalix culinary scene

In January 2015, couple Tania and Arvid Nilsson decided to open their own restaurant in Kalix. Now, a year later, Arvids Steakhouse can be found in the well-known White Guide featuring Sweden’s top restaurants and cafes. With modern and border crossing combinations inspired by both international and traditional cuisine, the chefs create personal and playful dishes using local produce and specialties from the area. The menus change according to season and access to local produce. www.arvids-steakhouse.com

Restaurant Utblick - Wonderfully mixed flavours

Utblick Luppioberget is a combined café, restaurant and a small shop offering culinary specialities and local design in the midst of Torne Valley. Guests are treated to Swedish, Finnish, Sami and Torne flavours as well as a spectacular view of Torne Valley. Rumour has it “Bergstroll” (mountain trolls) also like the area, so have your camera ready in case you happen to spot one. The excellent restaurant combined with the magnificent view, and the prospect of seeing the midnight sun in all its glory, make Utblick the ultimate attraction for all the family. www.utblickluppioberget.se

RECIPE: DOPP I KOPP (”DIP IN CUP”) This is a traditional dish from the Torne Valley, eaten all year round, but especially delicious when accompanied with potatoes in summer. Put finely chopped dill, spring union and yellow union in a cup. Serve with potatoes, smoked whitefish and marinated salmon on a plate. All you need to do now is dip and enjoy! Tips by Margit Spolander, Kukkolaforsen.

Överkalix’s own brewmastress tj e r i s t h e na m e o f t h e fa r m i n öv e r k a l i x

where Frida Andersson grew up. She is the founder of the one and only brewery in the area. Frida named her microbrewery after the farm and it must have been meant to be. Tjers sounds very similar to the English word “cheers” and suits undeniably well in this context. You’ll hear lots of cheering at the beer tasting sessions, that’s for sure. Frida is passionate about beer these days! It’s an interest she’s developed over the years and the idea to start up her own brewery came to mind during an internship at a winery in South Australia (yes that’s right!) She was previously studying at Grythyttan University to become a sommelier but she’s now changed course slightly. That’s how it all began. The whole process started off in a rapid pace going from brewing beer at home to renovating a brewery and ordering excellent shiny fermentation tanks from Germany - all to be able to produce local beer with a distinctive touch of Överkalix. From thinking about starting a brewery to actually going through with it has been a dream come true for Frida. It has been an exciting time and she wants to keep going.

”The job should always be exciting and challenging there is always something new to try and new flavours to discover. It’s great fun to try and see what flavours go well together and combining different flavours when producing beer. The more you learn about how to influence the flavours the more fun it becomes“, says Frida with a smile on her face. As Frida has her roots in Överkalix, she strives to make a local beer which expresses not only taste and feel but also the nature and way of life in the area. She has also chosen to name the beers using different dialect words from the local tongue Överkalixmålet: Kå:L SwåRtt (stout), Hå:mle (IPA) and Lios (pale ale) This means pitch dark, hops and light in local tongue. You can tell that this is traditional craftsmanship with local production when you hear Frida describe the whole manual process step by step from milled malt all the way to bottling and labelling. The feeling is there, and this is probably the reason the beer from Tjers brewery tastes so good. Welcome to Tjers brewery in beautiful Överkalix!

”There must be a clear identity in the beer I produce in the brewery - the local presence is important to me.”

Stay at a traditional town hotel - Stadshotellet Haparanda, with Stadshotellet in its centre, has at times been the European town with the fastest pulse. This was especially true at the time when Haparanda was the only point of contact between the West and the large empires in the East – Russia, Persia and China. This was a place where revolutionaries, anarchists, spies, agents, sawmill barons, military and madams, counts and barons made their mark on history. Everything from the smell, the mystique and excitement of this era is forever engrained in Haparanda Stadshotell exterior and especially its interior. It’s one of the most famous turn-of-the-century hotels, restored to its former glory with the authentic character. Stay the night in Haparanda Stadshotell and feel the history in the walls. www.haparandastadshotell.se

SWEDEN

Welcome to Sweden´s northernmost destination! In Swedish Lapland you will find unique arctic experiences. Thanks to the warm Gulf Stream, here high up by the Arctic Circle, you can experience seasons with great contrasts between polar nights with sparkling northern lights in a white winter landscape and warm summers filled with swimming and hundred days without night under the midnight sun. In the east – a 300-km coastal stretch facing the world’s largest brackish water archipelago, with thousands of islands. Sandy beaches, fishing camps and unique produce. In the west – vast mountains, brooks with water so clean you can drink from them and lots of adventures around the corner. In between the quiet, enigmatic, open-handed forest and river valleys from Skellefte River in the south to Torne River in the north-east, all with their unique distinctive characteristics to offer. Traditions and cultures are strong here, and love of nature is even stronger. This is our everyday-life, and we invite you to share it with us.

www.swedishlapland.com Heart of Lapland is the local destination company that seeks to develop and market the tourism industry in Kalix, Haparanda, Överkalix, Övertorneå and Pajala. Here in the borderlands between east and west, we refine our lifestyle and everyday life into unforgettable experiences and season them with the warm reception for which the area is known. Heart of Lapland is owned by its members and is part of Swedish Lapland Visitors Board, the regional industry-governed platform for collaboration on the tourism industry in northernmost Sweden. www.heartoflapland.com
