One more swim! This time I headed to a place that I've always dreamed about but never visited for some reason. Finnträsk is in Sarfvik, just along my bike or car route to work.
In the last twenty years, I've seen people leave their cars by the road, or drive the bike path to a parking spot... a lot of people. But less in recent years. I can't find a suitable link to explain the situation, but I fear that they've decided to build up the area and retire the public swimming place. That would be a real shame.
The coordinates for the best place to swim are N 60.14384 E 24.56910.

"Mongolia is kind of close, right? Story about an attempt to ski everywhere in the world where there's snow. And in some places where there isn't. On and off-piste skiing on all continents, skiing into craters of live volcanoes, climbing, photography, and travel." The Planetskier blog focuses on skiing, caving, climbing, biking, flying, sauna, and swimming adventures around the world.
