We took a visit to the other end of Långholmen, the ex-prison island, now city centre sanctuary, with views up to Högalids kyrka and back across the lake toward Riddarholmen.

On the way home from Långholmen we stopped by on Gamla Stan again.

After Fisksätra we went on to Saltsjöbaden

We took the train toward Saltsjöbaden, but got off at Fisksätra (Swedish). This looked, on the map, as if it might be an interesting place – unfortunately it isn’t as welcoming as we had hoped. Still the island was not so bad as the concrete centre on the other side of the railway.

On our way to the Synth picnic we found a couple of interesting sights.

A. standing by the Thai Boat at Hammerby Sluss.

To the west of Gamla Stan is the palace island of Riddarholmen.

To the north of Edsberg Slott, and Edsviken lake is the lake of Norrviken.

Hammerby Sluss connects Hammerby Sjö and Lake Mälaren.
