Interesting to hear that, I hope that you get to visit it one day. 🙂 Enjoy your visit to Sweden. 🙂

Even the smaller villages has something to offer, just the lack of huge buildings are sometimes something to enjoy. 🙂
]]>Thank you, Lahti is a city we have been to several times and really like. Susann has several of her aunts in and around the city. Sadly we usually are not this lucky with the weather.:)
]]>My cousin lives in Sweden and when I plan my next trip, the information will definitely help 🙂
]]>Indeed. 🙂
]]>I will get back to you by e-mail. 🙂
]]>I found your website almost by accident and was amazed by the quality of the information available.
So, I’m taking this opportunity to ask for your advice. We are a group of four adults travelling from Portugal to Stockholm on 1 August. We will spend five days in Stockholm, but before that we plan to take a three-day tour of the surrounding area, for which I have already rented a car. Following a direct route, with as few detours as possible, the route will be as I have indicated below. Do you agree with it? Or do you think there are stops that can be omitted and others that should be added? Thank you for your attention and patience!
Day One:
Arlanda Airport
Sigtuna
Skokloster Slott
Uppsala
Day Two:
Wiks Slott
Härkeberga Kyrka
Vårfrukyrka (Enkoping)
Anundshög (a slight detour, if it is worth it)
Eskilstuna (the same here)
Strängnäs
Gripsholm Slott
Mariefried
Södertälje (just to sleep)
Day Three
Stendorren National Park
Trosa
Tullgarn Slott
Drotningholms Slott
Tyresta National Park (I have to choose between Stendorren and Tyresta…)
Skogskyrkogården
Tyresö Slott
Hellasgården (Ältavägen Bastu)
Saltsjobaden (Saltsjöbadens Friluftsbad)
Hammarbybacken (I’m not really sure if this is right for us)
Nacka Strand (boat to Fjaderholmarna)
Stockholm (I’m having a hard time choosing between Hotel Fridhem and Hôtel Hötorget…) ]]>
A beautiful story you have 🙂
]]>Thanks for the pictures.

]]>Tider som vi andra bara kan drömma om, när alla dessa fantastiska platser var mer orörda 🙂
]]>Indeed, it really is.
]]>Hej Jesper,
Jag skulle vilja ha kontakt med både dig och Daniel som skrivit om Evert Holm här på din sida. Evert var min morfar.
Vänligen,
Kia
Wow.. That’s a lot of country… happy for you three..

Tack för att du tar kontakt Tony, jag har skickat ett mail. 🙂

That sounds like good reasoning 🙂 Please let us now if a day ever seems to be turning to the worse so that we can take precautions 😀
Hope that you have had a great start to 2024 🙂
Best wishes from the First City to see the light

]]>Magnus Gustaf Hammarlund, som du har noterat, var en farbror till mig.
Utifrån övriga namn förstår jag att det är hans anknytning till Edén som gör att du tagit med honom – hans änka är dotter till Rune Johan Georg Edén.
Du kan i så fall kanske ha intresse av att lägga till Gustafs svägerska Barbro Lillemor Edén, gift Lessmar. Född S:t Göran (AB) 1933-11-06, död Fågelfors (H) 2006-10-28 enligt Sveriges Dödbok. ]]>
Sadly that is the case with most hydroelectric powerplants in the Nordics, the floodgates are usually only opened once or twice a year. The rest of the year the rapids are dry. We had a similar feeling when visiting Porjus in Sweden and it was not really much to see in regards to the former river. So that was what we expected of Imatra as well, but it would have been a very positive surprise if they would have had the floodgates open. 🙂
There are sadly many places in the Nordics that live on their former status instead of what they are able to offer today. Luckily, more and more of them seem to be changing owners and undergo the decade-long needed renovations.
]]>I was less than complimentary about it at the time
]]>We tried to enjoy the sights on the way up the hill, but we did struggle a bit with the 35+ degrees Celcius. Luckily our accomodation during this heatwave was just a quarter of the way to the top. 🙂
]]>There is just something with North Macedonia and a few other small countries in the Balkans that attracts us. Maybe it is the history, or the struggle to establish their own unique identity. Either way, there will be more stories from Skopje, as we just recently came back from a new visit to the city. 🙂
]]>It is, indeed, an amazing place and hopefully their efforts will continue and provide an even better experience in the future. 🙂

Hello Robyn, my great grandfather also comes from Tving, but sadly I don’t know of any local genealogy society. I will send you an e-mail in case I might have something from other Swedish sources about Frans Edvard Svensson.

Hello Paul. Finding everything in one place or even region might be hard. You have a very long coast in Sweden with old seaports to be found in regions such as Södermanland, Småland, and Skåne. There is even historical seaports in lakes such as Mälaren and Vänern. Places like Trosa, Nyköping, Västervik, Kalmar, and Simrishamn makes perfect stops also during the off season. The province of Södermanland also have plenty of beautiful lakes, but it gets even better in Dalarna where it is combined with smaller mountains. Both Södermanland and Dalarna is easy for traveling. To really enjoy the nature with lakes and mountains then provinces such as Härjedalen, Jämtland, and especially Lapland might be best, but it is also a bit more demanding when traveling and might also require long distances on foot. This is made even harder when the first snow fall. So, my recommendation would be to combine the coast of Södermanland with the nature and tranquility of Dalarna. Especially if you arrive in Stockholm. 🙂
]]>Tack! ]]>
thank you for the message. we start in copenhagen, malmö, gothenburg, småland, stockholm, öland and back. I hope we can do everything and see a lot of nature. i’m really looking forward to sweden. I would like to go further north at some point.
]]>How far north have you planed to go? I’m actually on a southern road trip myself at the moment. Really south there is ”Ales Stenar”, a place I visted today and that is a must if you pass my. Towns like Ystad, Simrishamn and Åhus is also popular if you only visit the southern region of Skåne. A bit to the east is Blekinge and the city of Karlskrona (we have a post about it). If you head west instead you will end up in Halland and there you have both Halmstad and Varberg as nice towns to explore. When it comes to nature I prefer the landscape a bit further north, but you have stunning beaches and smaller hills to explore in the south. If you have time, head over to Öland and explore the southernmost point. It will most likely be windy, but the landscape is quite unique.
