Virisen
The lake is 20 km long and has also given its name to the village. The village was in roadless country until the road reached there in 1990-91. Virisen’s earliest inhabitant, Noak Abrahamsson, was a settler and medicine man to the mountain folk. He came to Virisen in the 1830s, fascinated by the vast riches of the countryside - the cloudberries in the swamplands, the lake fish, the abundance of wildlife. All this made it possible to dwell and survive up in the north.
