Excursions to different areas of the province provided unique insights and experiences for those visiting from abroad. Where else would you have the opportunity to row a Viking ship, ride a steam ship from 1867, wander through author Selma Lagerlöf's home, visit Klässbol linen mill, meet Alfred Nobel (or was that an impersonator?), see Löfberg's Lila's coffee roastery or the Wasa crisp bread factory?
