The Torne River is a river located in northern Europe, primarily flowing through Sweden and Finland. It stretches approximately 510 kilometers (about 317 miles) and serves as a natural border between the two countries for part of its length. The river is known for its scenic beauty and is a popular destination for outdoor activities such as fishing and canoeing. The Torne River originates from the Torne Träsk lake in Sweden and eventually empties into the Bothnian Bay of the Gulf of Bothnia. It plays a significant role in the local ecosystem and supports various wildlife species. The river is also important for regional transportation and has historical significance for trade and cultural exchange.
