Hällnäs is a place ( Tatort ) in the Swedish province of Västerbotten County and in the historical province of Västerbotten .
location
Hällnäs belongs to the municipality of Vindeln . The place is a good 60 km as the crow flies northwest of the provincial capital Umeå and 13 km northwest of the main town of the municipality, Vindeln , on the left bank of the Vindelälven . Hällnäs is the third largest town in the municipality after Vindeln and Tvärålund (2015).
The place is a junction on the railway line Stambanan genom övre Norrland leading from central Sweden to Boden (Norrlandsbahn, route km 905 from Stockholm ). There the Hällnäs – Storuman railway branches off , with 167 km the longest of the cross connections to the inland railway . Passenger traffic on this route was suspended until Lycksele in 1995 and resumed in 2011. Even on the Norrlandsbahn, passenger trains have only stopped in Hällnäs again after a break of more than ten years.
Hällnäs is on provincial road 363, which follows the left bank of the Vindelälven for almost its entire length from Umeå to Ammarnäs and is Sweden's longest provincial road at 325 km. In Hällnäs a secondary provincial road branches off to Bastuträsk , following the Norrlandsbahn in a northerly direction .
history
The place emerged towards the end of the 19th century and developed particularly after the opening of the railway in 1894. In 1922, Hällnäs was the starting point for the branch line to Storuman, which was completed in 1930 .
In 1926 one of the largest sanatoriums for the treatment of tuberculosis in Sweden was built near Hällnäs . Built in the style typical of the time, the complex had a variety of self-sufficiency facilities, including its own waterworks. From initially 208 places, the sanatorium was expanded in several stages to 340 places by 1948. The sanatorium served its original purpose until the end of the 1960s. Today it is unused and empty, but it is still the most famous facility in the place.
Since a high point in the 1960s, when over 500 people lived in Hällnäs, the population has fallen by almost half.
