If you are not driving up the coast and instead take the train, you will travel a bit inland and get to Älvsbyn and Boden before you can get to Piteå and Luleå. Boden is known as a military town and it is no coincidence that the Stambanan and Malmbanan railways meet here.
The city’s big landmark is the Boden Fortress, built in the early 20th century to protect the valuable iron ore transported from the mines in Kiruna to the harbor in Luleå. Guided tours are offered here and the knowledgeable guides are or have been employees in the military. Many of them served here in Boden and will reveal some really interesting “secrets” about the once-heavily guarded fortress.
