Trip to Norrland: Day 1 - Dragon Gate and Railway Museum

Today was the first day of my trip to the northern part of Sweden, "Norrland", which in its widest definition consists of seven counties (including Värmland and Dalarna), and we will visit them all. This is an extremely rough plot of the route we will follow between 13th - 19th June 2014. I haven't calculated the total milage, but with all extra stops it will probably be something like 2500 km in total.

Today the weather turned colder with some rain showers, so we cancelled the bath at Rullsand and instead visited the oddity that is Dragon Gate between Uppsala and Gävle, and then the Swedish Railway Museum in Gävle. We stayed at STF Vandrarhem Regnsjö Knyssla 30 km west of Söderhamn, a beautiful and pitoreque farm turned hotel. 310 km travelled today.
