This location is mentioned in the following paragraphs:
(§61) Here runs the river that separates Uppland from Gästrikland.
(§63) Just as we left Uppland I saw a couple of oak trees, but no more after that - I was already on the Medelpad side by then, however.
(§64) There are few hills and lakes in Uppland.
(§481) From this grass, as well as from the forests, marshes, fields, meadows, plants and lakes, I could see that this province is very like Småland, and I found quite a lot of plants that do not grow in Uppland, Södermanland, Östergötland or Skåne but do grow in Småland etc.
(§650) For the most part, the plants I saw here were the same as in Uppland, except for 'Aconitum lycoct.' [Northern Wolfsbane], 'Muscipula parva montana, flore albo erecto' [Rock Catchfly], 'Coronopus marit. punctata Kyll.' [Sea Plantain], 'Mesomora' [Dwarf Cornel] and cloudberry. I was now thoroughly exhausted but was able to refresh myself with cow's milk, restore myself with food, and sit in a chair.
(§838) Various methods of drying grain:
- In Skåne they mow it and gather it up with a rake when dry.
- In Småland they cut it and dry it on a frame, also in Västerbotten.
- In Östergötland they stack it 2 by 2 in a long row.
- In Uppland they mow it, bind it and build stacks.
- In Ångermanland they hang the whole year's harvest over a large frame.
- In Västerbotten they cut it and hang it crosswise on a frame.
(§1120) Birch is used for firewood; there are no candles nor torches indoors since those in use among the Finns and Finnish Lapps only smoulder smokily. They cut the hay with a scythe as in Uppland. Treat the corn as in Småland; in dry years it dries better on stands, in wet years on frames. Hay is spread out and turned, then brought in, without being stacked, on a large waggon.
