A project by John TibellFakta om SverigeEvery place in Sweden, and what's unique about it.
The big places have Wikipedia. The villages, the peaks and the islands have only a name on the map. Here every place gets the same set of facts: where it is, how high, how many live there, the weather and the nature around it. And above all the answer to one question: what's unique here?
222,192villages
