Norrström

Norrström in focal Stockholm associates Lake Mälaren with the Baltic Sea. It keeps running from Riddarfjärden, north of Gamla stan, to Saltsjön. Two islands exist in it, Strömsborg and Helgeandsholmen. It is one of two common conduits amongst Mälaren and the Baltic ocean, the other being Söderström south of Gamla stan. Norrström is crossed by Centralbron and the neighboring walker span, Vasabron, Riksbron north of Helgeandsholmen which proceeds into Riksgatan and Stallbron south of the island, Norrbro crossing Helgeandsholmen, and Strömbron.

As the water level of Mälaren is generally higher than that of the Baltic, the ebb and flow regularly keeps running from west to east. Norrström is not traversable for movement amongst Mälaren and the Baltic, however whitewater kayakers regularly utilize it for preparing. An incredible number of fish species can be gotten there, among them ocean trout and salmon, which makes Norrström a well known destination for game fishers.
