Centralstation Hostel Norrköping

Highlight • Rest Area

Since the Norrköping campsite is permanently closed, I had to look for another solution. What a surprise! A great hostel, beautifully furnished, right in the train station building. A single room with a private bathroom, including breakfast, costs €50. My bike found a safe place in the stairwell.

Norrköping City Hall

Highlight • Monument

A nice object to photograph. Better with a single lens reflex camera than with my old cell phone.

Motala Ström waterfalls in Norrköping

Highlight • Waterfall

The river was of great importance in Norrköping, as it had been used to power mills and other factories since the Middle Ages. Since the Viking Age, the rapids in the river had been overcome by towing boats through them with the help of horses. This practice is documented in rock carvings found near the river.

Strykjärnet – Museum of Work

Highlight • Historical Site

In the 19th and early 20th centuries, this was the centre of the textile industry. Many buildings from this period are well preserved, making Norrköping's industrial landscape an exceptional sight. One of the most famous buildings is the seven-storey "Iron" (Strykjärnet), a former weaving mill and Sweden's most famous historic factory. It stands on the tiny island of Laxholmen in the Motala Ström river and seems to rise directly from the water. Today, appropriately, the Museum of Work is located here.
