On certain winter nights in Umeå, even the frozen river whispers secrets buried for centuries beneath the snow.

Begin a self-guided audio tour that peels back the city’s surface. Walk deeper and discover hidden chapters lost to most visitors, mapped in the stones of The Court of Appeal for Upper Norrland and along the timeworn curve of the Old Bridge.

Who dared challenge the stronghold of justice with a scandal that shook politicians to their core? What shadowy figure vanished under mysterious circumstances on Storgatan, leaving only silent footprints behind? And why does a forgotten iron detail on the Old Bridge still spark debate among lifelong locals?

Trace defiant footsteps past silent courtrooms, over bridges echoing with rebellion and past corners that once drew whispered rumors. Let every step carry you through a city alive with drama and unspoken tales.

Press play to crack the surface of Umeå and hear what the ice remembers.
