    The old town of Gävle ("Gamla Gefle") shows itself in the best romanticism of Sweden, as Central Europeans like it. Colored wooden houses, cozy streets with stone pavement (kullersten), rose bushes and mallows in front of the houses and pink pelargoniums in the windows, festival lamps and lanterns for the dark season and and and ...
    Joel Hägglund was born in one of the old homesteads in 1879, later known as an American trade unionist under the name Joe Hill (also Joseph Hillström) and executed in 1915. Here he also spent his childhood.

        One of the most beautiful old towns in Sweden (for me) with great wooden houses, lovely streets and beautiful views.
