Veda

This location is mentioned in the following paragraphs:

(§170) From the hill by a lake called MÖRTSJÖN that lies between NORRSTIG and VEDA, I could see that the whole distant landscape resembled clouds stacked one upon the other and heavy with rain. Thus the mountains appeared on all 3 sides, all blue with the smoke that rose from the earth and each peak raising its head above another.

(§171) Close by Veda we came to the great Ångerman River, over three quarters of a mile wide and full of salt water, for this is an inlet of the sea and not the river proper. We took the ferry across. As we approached the other side, I saw a continuous line of white foam 2 feet wide runiung along the river and, when I asked for the cause of it, they answered that the only cause they knew of was that the main current of the river ran just there.

(§189) Apples grow between Veda and HORNÖN but I saw none after that.
