Älansbro (Älvsbyn) is a quiet town in the Swedish province of Nordbotten, situated on the banks of the Lule River, about 70 kilometers from the city of Luleå. As an important community south of the Arctic Circle, the area is known for its magnificent nature, surrounded by forests, lakes and rivers, making it an ideal place for outdoor activities.
With a population of around 8,000, Elansbrugh has an economy based on forestry and traditional crafts. In winter you can experience dog sledding and aurora observation, while in summer hiking, fishing and canoeing are suitable. The town's Älvsbyn Church is a fine example of 19th-century timber-framed architecture, and the fast-flowing waterfalls of the Lüre River are a famous Nordic rafting destination.
Ellensbruh is easily accessible via the E4 highway and the Swedish rail network. It combines Nordic wilderness with modern amenities for travelers looking for an in-depth nature tour, and is an important gateway for exploring the culture of the Lapland region.
