Ritgrund Bergö
Bergö is an island with unique characteristics located in the municipality of Malax, at the southern end of the Kvarken Archipelago. Bergös picturesque boat houses remind us of the significance of fishing throughout the ages. Ritgrund is a barren lighthouse island located in the northern part of the outer Kvarken Archipelago, between the islands of Mickelsörarna and Valsörarna. Burträsk is located in Västerbotten, Sweden by the Burträsket lake. Västerbotten cheese has been manufactured here since 1872. Attempts to make the cheese elsewhere have not succeeded in re-creating the unique flavour.
