Orebro Hostels - Hostel List for Orebro, Sweden

Orebro is an old town on the route from Stockholm westwards towards Gothenburg or Norway . It has been a town and a market location at least since the 13th century. This was originally based on its strategic position at the crossroads between the east west water route on the big lakes (Malaren and Hjalmaren and further towards Vanern) and the north south land route on a major esker. A medieval fortress on an island in the river SvartAn traversing the town was transformed into a major castle in the 16th century. It is still a landmark in the city centre. During much of the 19th and 20th centuries Orebro was well known for its many shoe factories. These are all gone today and Orebro is now a university town. Most of the old buildings were removed in the 1950s and 1960s and replaced by modern blocks, but a few of the old houses were re erected in an area named Wadkoping after a well known Swedish novel by Hjalmar Bergman. Water towers mimicking a mushroom are today spread over the world, but the very first one was built in Orebro in 1958. (There is an exact copy in Riyadh , Saudi Arabia.) The marshes around the outlet of the river SvartAn into the lake Hjalmaren are a well known bird area, lately developed into a major tourist attraction.
