history
The route was initially only called the Path of the Seven Rivers, after the seven rivers it crosses on its way: Vindelälven , Ume älv , Öreälven , Lögdeälven , Gideälven , Ångermanälven and Saxälven . After collaborating with various artists and setting up their installations along the route, the name was changed to the current one in 1997. There are currently twelve works of art in different conditions along the 350 km long road. The last work of art dates from 2005 and consists of a ten-meter-long boat hook that was made by students and erected in Bjurholm next to a bridge over the Öreälv.
