ヴェステルノールランド周辺のアトラクション＆必見スポット - トップ20

After the Sundsvall fire of 1888, the city's reconstruction was the subject of much debate. Officials eventually agreed to largely preserve the existing city plan, rather than transforming it into a network of wide fire lanes. However, all buildings were to be constructed of stone (hence the name Stenstaden, or Stone City), and a wide promenade, serving as a fire lane, was to be built through the city center. The use of stone for all city buildings meant that many who had lost their homes in the fire could not afford to rebuild. Despite immediate aid from across Europe, only the city's wealthy timber barons could finance the new stone structures.

Together with Stora Torget on the other side of the Esplanade, Vängåvan Park forms a large green space and the heart of Sundsvall. The park, with its fountain built at the end of the 19th century, was one of the first publicly designed spaces in Sweden. During Sundsvall's rapid economic growth, the area around Vängåvan, with its several banks, became one of Sweden's most important financial centers. The fountain in the center of the park was designed by the Sundsvall artist Sofia Gisberg. It was completed on August 25, 1886, the same day as the new Läroverket (the Swedish National Library), now the Hedbergska School. The fountain was made possible by donations from A. P. Hedberg. Public artworks were rare in Swedish provincial towns at that time and considered highly exclusive.

Fantastic view from the summit. Barbecue area and overnight accommodation. Cooking area in the hut. Restrooms, and a wood storage facility next door.

Nice cabin but cold in low temperatures as the wood burner has been removed.

Interesting landscape. You can walk on sodden planks nearby.

Beautiful little house at the lake. You are allowed to sleep there. Wood for the fireplace is also available and of course a toilet.

If you are standing in the center at Stora Torget in Sundsvall, you should look up at the house facades and see the richly decorated dormer windows and roofs of the stone houses. With all this splendor, you can understand why many Swedes today consider Sundsvall to be the most beautiful city in the country. This district is called Stenstan, or the stone city. The center of the district is the magnificent Stadshuset at Stora Torget. If you stroll through the city center along the pedestrian zone, you will be able to admire many colorful dragons. We discovered around 20 dragons. The dragon is a symbol of Sundsvall.

In the middle of the city there are small parks to linger
