Ume river

umeriver_200.jpgOne of this regions most interesting and updated websites. Owner is a tourist network in north Sweden ( the fastest growing tourist and travel network in Lapland ). On this website you can read and find information and facts about the Ume river in southern Lapland in north Sweden. Infact, you can find a lot of information about anything concerning, tourism, travel and exciting things to do along this river valley.

I myself have been both in the mountain area in a cave expedition and down to the Gulf of Bothnia to the town of Umea. The thing that strikes me the most, is the enormous woodlands and waterways along the Blue route. Blue Route is the highway that follows Ume river from the mountain in the west to the sea in the east.

Ume river website can guide you through this area and give you a god start on your trip to this beautiful and interesting place on earth.

  • Sami culture
    New website gallery. Here can you find interesting travel tip and pictures about the sami culture (http://laplandpostcard.com/component/option,com_zoom/Itemid,26/catid,16/) in Swedish Lapland. In celebration of Lycksele being a church and Marketplace for 400 year I have put in some pictures from Sámi meeting-place in Lycksele. ( In 1607 the old Sámi meeting-place Lyksälie became a centre of the Ume Sámi country. People who lived in the area came to the recently established church and market site a few times a year for visits to the church and the district-court. Then they also paid their taxes and seized the opportunity to barter, sell and buy commodities. A church town with cots, sheds, cottages and stables grew up on Öhn (the Isle), or Gammplatsen (the Old Site) as we call it today. The seed that made Lycksele grow into a chief town in southern Lapland had been sown! source Lycksele municipality )All the best Photographer Samuel Arnfjell
