Vasterbotten, however you want it.

Västerbotten, also known as West Bothnia or Westrobothnia, is a picturesque and historically rich province located in the northern part of Sweden. Covering an area of approximately 60,000 square kilometers, it is the second-largest province in the country. The region is characterized by its diverse geography, which ranges from the stunning coastline of the Gulf of Bothnia to the dense forests and majestic mountains of the Scandinavian mountain range. The province is divided into two main regions - the coastal plain and the inland, which are further distinguished by their unique landscapes and cultural identities. One of the most significant aspects of Västerbotten's geography is the presence of numerous rivers, the largest of which is the Ume River that flows through the province and into the Gulf of Bothnia. These rivers have played a vital role in shaping the region's history, culture, and economy, particularly in terms of trade, transportation, and the timber industry. Västerbotten is home to several remarkable landmarks, including the ancient rock carvings at Nämforsen, which date back to the Bronze Age and offer a glimpse into the region's prehistoric past.
