The small city of Kramfors stands almost exactly in the middle of Sweden's east coast. It grew up near the mouth of one of the country's longest rivers, the 286-mile Angerman River. Hire a car in Kramfors and you can explore this renowned scenic valley, known locally as Ådalen.
There are pretty wooded islands in the river and great driving roads on either bank as it winds through the woods. The beautiful coastline in this area is definitely worth exploring too. Known as 'The High Coast' for its steep cliffs and islands, it's designated as a World Heritage site.
A pretty pedestrianised main shopping street forms the heart of the city's small community. Hire a car in Kramfors to explore further afield, whether that means driving round enjoying the views of the Angerman River or touring the cliffs, bays and islands of the renowned High Coast.
From Kramfors, be sure to drive across the spectacular High Coast suspension bridge. And if it's raining, find the unlikely local highlight: the Veteranbilmuseum, a charming collection of more than 50 old cars kept well under cover.
