The digital art walking guide shows the works on a map and includes pictures and information about each work. Take your phone with you on your walk or take a completely digital art walk.
The Östanbäcken neighborhood is one of Härnösand's oldest districts, mostly built up with wooden houses from the 18th and 19th centuries. Östanbäcken was close to being demolished, but the demolition was stopped and today the district is a listed building.
