The high towers can be seen at a long distance.

From here one of the first gravity experiments were performed by Galileo.

The castle of Austrått. One of the more interesting castles in Norway.

One of the 10 most beautiful castles in Sweden, which belonged to count Magnus Gabriel DelaGardie in the 17th century, one of the most powerful men of Sweden. The castle still looks the same as it did back then.

Along a trail in the forest very many sculptures / pieces of art by local artists are installed. Many of them are very nice, as well as the nature around.

The best hotel (of 2) I have stayed at in Vaasa. The best about it is probably the beds, which are really comfortable.

One of the most well-preserved 16th Century castles in Sweden and also one of the 10 most beautiful ones.

Not interesting at all. I did a big part of my military service here...

Got two extra stars because my great great grandfather was reverend there.

A long stair up to a monument, which wasn't fully built when the Soviet union fell apart. When I was there it was still not finished, but nice anyway.

The most wonderful Christian church in the world.

There are not so many nice attractions in Kalix. The hotel is nice and got 4 stars instead of 3, because of the nice relax room.

The finest barock castle in Sweden. The garden is also magnificent. Unfortunately the Swedish royal family is living there, so there can be lots of security people running around.

Nice castle in renessaince style, but built in the 19th century. Can be seen from a hotel in the neighbourhood or from the beach when it's tide.

Really worth a visit! The third nicest castle in Denmark, which really looks like a castle should (many towers etc).

Really worth visiting! Museum about the land uplift in Scandinavia + the mountain that proves it. Very nice (and steep) walking path to the top of it.
