Norrbotten info


The name Norrbotten is also used for a province of the same name. This province covers only the eastern part of Norrbotten County - the inland mostly belongs to the Swedish Lapland (Lappland) province.

Norrbotten County covers almost 1/4 of Sweden's surface, but is sparsely inhabited. This is especially true for inland part of Lapland.

The climate is generally harsh, which is not surprising considering its northern location. However, the long summer days allow crops to ripen within 2-3 months, and various grains are commonly grown and make up an important part of the industry. Besides grains, potatoes and turnips are also grown. The most important plant is however grass, used as hay for the livestock.
