 Nature reserve in the central archipelago |
Mellersta skärgården Stockholm 13467 Sweden +46 (0)8 5082 8508 (Turistbyra) |
The area around Björnö (Bear Island) has evidence of ancient habitation, and numerous archaeological remains have been found dating back to the Stone Age and the Iron Age. There are cultivation cairns as well as ancient stone walls and fences. You'll also find remains of old plantations with fruit trees and flowering bushes that have grown wild over the centuries. Torpesand has one of the best sandy beaches in the archipelago. So this is the perfect place to combine historical interest with some swimming and tanning. To get to Björnö, take bus 428 or 429 from Slussen to Björkvik and get off at the Björkviks gård stop. From here, it is a walk of just under a kilometre to the Björnö nature reserve.

Greta Garbo's final resting place |
Södermalmspåfarten Stockholm Sweden +46 (0)8 5083 0100 http://www.kyf.stockholm.se/sh... kyrkogardsforvaltningen@kyf.stockholm.se |
Skogskyrkogården (the "Forest Cemetery") is the final resting place of a number of illustrious persons, among them Greta Garbo. The burial ground and chapel are listed as UNESCO World Heritage sites, and were designed by two of the most eminent architects of the Functionalist movement, Gunnar Asplund and Sigurd Lewerentz. The beauty and peace of this place is really unbelievable, and you can spend hours simply walking around, lost in thought-truly balm for the soul. Review © 2007, Wcities |
