It was peaceful to walk next to the Sävar river, but we felt that the water was too cold to swim in (some youngsters didn't agree). A canoe trip later in the summer might be nice, though.

Sävar
A trip to the village of Sävar was on today's schedule. Sävar is situated about 20 km north east of Umeå and is mostly known to be the place where the last fight against the Russians took place 200 years ago when Sweden lost Finland. We might go back later in August for the celebration of the 200 year period of peace. We didn't see much of any 19th century theme at today's market, but we strolled around anyway in the village and among the stands.
