Kanalbron

Kanalbron/The canal walkway. The canal walkway at piteå southern canal outlet holds 2 noteworthy aspects. The first is its historical impact on Piteås population. Piteå when established was a city divided onto islands by water. Thus bridges and walkways changed peoples lives a lot when built. In reality this walkway lets u walk from the swedish mainland onto one of swedens largest islands. The second reason is that it holds a local cultural importance. Each year at valborgsmässoafton, a festival on 30th april, a swimming competition is held at the canal with this walkway as its starting point. The competition draws thousands of onlookers, a local festivity.
