Angel Youngs Vrangela Finspång Online

As I walked, I thought about what draws us to specific places to remember specific people. Why Finspång? Why Vrangla? I think it is the honesty of the place. There is no manicured garden here.

So, if you are carrying grief, or love, or just a restless heart, come to Finspång. Walk the Vrangla ravine. Leave a stone. Listen to the water. As I walked, I thought about what draws

Finspång is an easy trip from Norrköping, and the signs to Vrangfallets naturreservat are clear. Wear boots that can handle mud. Bring coffee in a thermos. Leave your headphones behind.

The main draw is the ravine—a deep, dramatic cut through the landscape created by the melting ice at the end of the last Ice Age. When you stand at the edge of the Vrangla canyon, looking down at the water churning far below, you feel very small. And yet, paradoxically, you also feel very seen .
