Arjeplogs kommun: Jokkmokk - Lappland Sverige

Developed around iron-ore fields and northern Sweden’s transport routes, Norrbotten County grew into the country’s largest county by area. It stretches from the Gulf of Bothnia’s low, island-dotted coast to the Scandinavian Mountains along the Norwegian border, while the Torne River forms part of its frontier with Finland. The county lies within Sápmi, the traditional homeland of the Sámi people, and reindeer herding remains integral to its northern identity. Near Luleå, Gammelstad Church Town is a UNESCO World Heritage site, preserving church cottages clustered around a medieval stone church.
