Kristinestad

This location is mentioned in the following paragraphs:

(§960) 11th. Departed from the dean's house at Kemi: Pastor Frosterus and his wife Christina.

(§1133) 26th. Travelled past CHRISTINA. Before that, however, at NӒRPESI saw a fairly large field with good soil which used to be a very fine meadow but is now so covered in tussocks that it provides little or nothing for the cattle. These tussocks were present in their hundreds and they were overgrown with 'Polytrichum' [moss] which had withered by this time and was, for the most part, completely black. There was hardly enough space left between these tussocks for the cattle to squeeze through.

(§1136) South of Christina I saw for the first time 'Lathyrus viciaeformis' [Marsh Pea], 'Sisymbrium' [Iceland Yellow-cress], 'Campanula persicifolia' [Peach-leaved Bellflower] and 'Telephium' [Orpine].

(§1137) 28th. I put behind me the exceedingly difficult road (it cannot be called a highway since it is just like the road between the town of Umeå and Granön) which runs all the way from LAPPFJӒRD near Christina to HVISBOFJӒRD near BJÖRNEBORG.
