OEvertornea

This compact Swedish village on the Torne River sits directly on the border with Finland, facing its Finnish twin town Ylitornio across the water. The two settlements were a single community until 1809, when the river became the boundary between Sweden and Russia — a division that shaped the entire Tornedalen valley. Övertorneå lies in Norrbotten County's mountain terrain, with UNESCO World Heritage sites in the wider region.
