Kalix, a small municipality 78 kilometres from Luleå, has always fascinated me, at least when it comes to the name. What does Kalix really mean? The answer is simple: a chalice. Look at the similarities in calix and chalice! Sights in Kalix? A few: a grave for Russians from the last war in the 19th Century, the church of course, the beach and camping Frevisören, and Vassholmen, a place where logs were separated ages ago.
