Visiting Gävlebocken of Sweden

[TanbeenAmin]

Gävlebocken, Gävle, Sweden

Hi everyone,

This post is about my last trip to visit Gävlebocken. Gävlebocken is a traditional icon which is situated in Gävle city in Sweden and this is erected every December for one month. I am going to provide few information about each of the places I visited in this trip. I have captured a lot of 360 photos for updating Google Street View. I am posting them now gradually.

Gävle city: 
Gävle is a city in Sweden, situated in the Gävle Municipality and the capital of Gävleborg County. It has 102 418 inhabitants (in 2019). It is the 13th most populated city in Sweden. It is the oldest city in the historical Norrland. 

Gudinna I Hyperboreiskt Hav: 
In the middle of the city you will see a big sculpture which is called Gudinna I Hyperboreiskt Hav. It is an almost four meter long and eight ton heaby sculpture in Småland granite by Eric Grate which depicts a monumental female body. It was placed in May in 1956 on Rådhustorget in Gävle on the initiative of the GDJ Foundation for Gävle's 500th anniversaty.

Hemlingby Hill:

In this trip I visited Hemlingby Hill which is situated in beside Hemlingbystugan. People can ski here in the winter time. There is a camping, hiking and trekking trail in this area. It is a tourist attraction.

Gävlebocken: 
Gävlebocken is actually Gävle Goat. In the christmas time, Gävle has a beautiful tradition of Gävlebocken. Gävlebocken is erected every year on the first day of Advent, which is in the late November or early December. The design of the first goat was assigned to the chief of the Gävle fire department, Gavlen's brother Jörgen Gavlen. The construction of the goat was carried out by the fire department, and erected the goat each year. It is a 13 meter (43ft) tall and 7 meter (23ft) long with the weight of 3 Ton. I have created a 360 video of the Gävlebocken. You can have a look at the bocken here: 

I used to live in Gävle two years ago. Then I moved to Stockholm.  I have a lot of memories in this city. Sometimes I visit the city and I can see everything in my eyes. I love the city. This is very clean and fresh. You can see more clear sky here than in Stockholm. Most probably because of the less pollution. 

I have created a cinematic on this trip. I would like to share with you: 

I am very glad to share the trip story with you. Please let me know your opinion on the post.
