This wooden bridge crosses a narrow section of the lake and connects different parts of the trail. It’s a scenic passage, with good views over the water and surrounding wetlands.

I've found many beautiful manhole covers with motifs in Sweden and Norway, but none with poetry yet. Manhole Poetry has been a concept that originated in Gothenburg since 2019. I think it's great.👍 https://sv.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brunnslockspoesi https://www.vakin.se/kampanjsidor/brunnslockspoesi.4.5a1d85a018cae4e84877022.html

A school from 1897 has been converted into a hotel. A wonderful reuse. The staircase truly transports you back to your school days.

Gamla bron (The old bridge) is Umeås oldest remaining bridge over Ume River in Sweden and is 301 metres long. Before Umeå had a bridge the inhabitants crossed the river using ice roads during the winter and with ferries the other seasons.
