BOTHNIAN COAST
Gävle
026 / Pop 71,033
Infamous among certain naughty youngsters because its name (pronounced Yerv -luh)
sounds a lot like a Swedish swear word, Gävle is a lively university town that's been a
prosperous industrial centre since the late 19th century, when it exported local timber and
iron. Founded in 1446, Gävle is officially Norrland's oldest town, but not much of its ori-
ginal incarnation remains due to a devastating fire in 1869. A vibrant culinary scene and a
host of oddball attractions in and around town appeal to a motley crew of beachgoers,
would-be arsonists, whisky connoisseurs and trainspotters and make Gävle linger-worthy
for a day or three.
