Maritime character at Ulvösundet

The wooden Ulvö gamla kapell was built in 1622 by Gävle fishermen and is listed as a building in Västernorrland. The chapel gives a stay in Ulvöhamn a clear maritime and historical focus. It is therefore a documented point of orientation for anyone who wants to include a piece of regional history in their trip alongside the coastal location.

What kind of base is Ulvöhamn?
