Medelpad, 17/05/1732, ¶133:

The boundary between Hälsingland and Medelpad lies between RÖDE in Gnarp and the DINGERSJÖ inn. It is marked by 2 posts, one standing on each side of the road. I noticed immediately that ‘Erica’ [Heather] became rather less common and was supplemented by ‘Myrtillus baccis nigris’ [Blaeberry]. Birch trees also became more abundant, and to my left there lay big grey hills. Throughout the whole district, stones the size of 2 fists lay in a jumble below the cliffs along the road. Not having been disturbed, they were all greyish-green from a thin covering of moss.
