Nätra District

Few districts in Västernorrland County are as closely shaped by Baltic herring fishing as Nätra District. Its coastal territory reaches the Ulvö islands in the Bothnian Sea, where Ulvöhamn developed as a fishing settlement and remains strongly associated with surströmming, Sweden’s fermented herring. Ulvö gamla kapell, built in 1622, recalls the seasonal fishing communities that once gathered here. On the mainland, the district belongs to Ångermanland, a coast where postglacial land uplift has continually altered the shore and archipelago.
