  • High Coast / Kvarken Archipelago Sweden & Finland
    HIGH COAST / KVARKEN ARCHIPELAGO SWEDEN & FINLAND The High Coast in the western Gulf of Bothnia has been largely shaped by glaciation and the rebound of the land by 285m following the retreat of the overlying glacier 9,600 years ago. This is the highest such uplift known, and is the type locality for research into isostatic rebound. The Kvarken Archipelago of 6,500 islands across the Gulf of Bothnia is a landscape in continuous change and an outstanding example of post-glacial island uplift in a flat and shallow morainal archipelago. As with the High Coast, which it complements, this is the world’s most representative area for studying the process.

    NSB CoRe KVARKEN - Making NSB more attractive, enlarging labour pool, better connected, wealthier Case A: IDENTIFY HINTERLAND SECOND LEVEL CONNECTIONS NORTH OF TAMPERE Final Report 21 May 2018 INTRODUCTION - Kvarken and NSB CoRe NSB CoRe project has started in spring 2016 as part of the Interreg VB Baltic Sea Region Programme. Objective of the project is to enhance regional development by improving internal and external accessibility in the Eastern-Baltic Sea Region to freight and passenger transport. This study is focusing on Kvarken region, ie. on three Ostrobothnian regions in Finland (Ostrobohnia, South Ostrobothnia and Central Ostrobothnia) and Västerbotten and Örnsköldvik regions in Sweden, the main urban nodes being Vaasa and Umeå. Total population of the region is a bit over 750 000 inhabitants, of which about ⅔ is on Finnish side and ⅓ on Swedish side. Main goal of the whole NSB CoRe project is to influence on EU TEN-T policy and to link North Sea-Baltic Core Network Corridor with regional transport networks and urban nodes in northernmost part of this corridor. In addition to EU-policy, there are number of national regional development, and transport decisions that should be taken into account. This study support building the Vision of the NSB CoRe corridor, which is being elaborated by the VASAB Secretariat. The main aims of the Vision are: identifying the existing or possible discrepancies in national, regional or local spatial plans of the North Sea–Baltic corridor bordering states, to seek for the needs of improvements of the North Sea–Baltic corridor connections with the 2nd level transport networks and assessing the impact of the NSB CoRe corridor upon regional development processes in the territory of the corridor.

The High Coast in north-eastern Sweden has become a popular tourist site annually attracting hundreds of thousands of visitors from throughout the world. Its environment is not only considered pleasing from a recreational aspect, but also of extraordinary intrinsic value. Citing the fact that the area has evidenced the greatest land elevation anywhere since the end of the Ice Age, the High Coast was placed on UNESCOʼs prestigious World Heritage List in the year 2000, thereby becoming the first site in all of northern Europe to earn that status purely on account of its natural environment.

Kramfors municipality covers a vast area and contains a wide range of geological and cultural attractions. Ancient remains, medieval churches and old fishing places relate an exciting history amid grandiose scenery. The area has been inhabited for thousands of years – first by nomadic hunters, later by farmers and fishermen. Many small ironworks formed in the 18th century, while the mid-19th century witnessed the growth of the sawmill industry. The first sawmill was actually built in 1744, where Kramfors stands today. But the large scale timber industry, that has made the name Kramfors famous, only really started when the steam engine was introduced in Sweden. Ådalen’s industrial landscape then began to take form. Sawmill after sawmill established and small communities appeared. Timber that was felled far inland was floated on the great rivers down to the coastal sawmills. In the 20th century, sawmills gave way to pulp and paper mills. Today, many of these mills are gone, but historical traces survive. All over the district you can find remains from the life and work of previous generations. 3 kramfors’ cultural heritage 90 Södra Ådalsvägen 1.
