In the centre of Stockholm is the island of Gamla Stan (actually an area consisting of several islands, for the pedants out there), the old town. While I was walking around I happened upon the Nobel Museum, which was having an open day. So I took a look inside. I guess the biggest surprise (for me at least, […]

Exploring Kista some more, on my way back from Lilla Rinkeby I found a few more things to photograph.

Just along the road from Låssa church there is a rune stone. This isn’t as well restored as some of the others I have seen.

Around the corner from Lindormsnäs is Låssa, the village closest to the Rösaring Stone Labyrinth – the maze itself is buried deep in a country park/nature reserve beyond the village. I didn’t have time to visit it before returning the car so is a place I want to revisit when I have some more time.

Between Kista and the centre of Stockholm the TBana passes through a nature reserve. This forms a part of the cities green belt, and is marked with a series of paths and cross country tracks, with different colours denoting different distance circuits.
