Another blog on the Nordic Horizons DLC is here! Today, we will show you some of the stunning city landmarks that can be found in this upcoming map expansion for Euro Truck Simulator 2.
Along your journey through the northernmost part of Europe, you will come across plenty of historical buildings, beautiful sculptures, and other stunning structures. One of them is the Gävle Theater, a hallmark of Swedish theater architecture. Located in the heart of Gävle, a charming port town on Sweden’s east coast, this historic building was completed in 1878 and remains a testament to the city’s cultural heritage.
On the shores of the vast lake of Storsjön in Sweden’s midlands, you can come across the picturesque city of Östersund and its rådhus, or as we would call it, its city hall. The construction of this beautiful building, which was built in a national romantic style, began in 1909 and was finished three years later.
If you venture further north, you can spot the Akkats Hydroelectric Power Station, which is said to be the gateway to the “Great Lakes” and Laponia. This small dam is also a popular tourist destination as it is adorned with monumental paintings that symbolize the Sami lifestyle and culture.
Moving on to Finland, you can discover the Sea Eagle – Finnish Aviation Monument in the city of Vaasa on the west coast. This impressive statue symbolizes freedom and the spirit of flight and stands as a testament to the country’s rich aviation history.
In the Käpylä field alongside the National Highway 5, you can find roughly a thousand peat-headed characters standing still. The Silent People were created in 1988. What do you think is the meaning behind this art project? Well, you will have to figure it out yourself as the creator refuses to provide any answer, but it is a captivating sight nonetheless.
Another city landmark can be found in the middle of a roundabout in the Finnish city of Kuusamo which is located near the country’s eastern border. This sculpture is called The Surge and depicts a powerful wave.
Let’s go back to Sweden for a bit. Our talented map designers have also recreated the beautiful Umeå City Church. It can be found in the center of the city. The church was inaugurated in 1894 in a place where two other churches were destroyed previously in history.
