In June we spent a weekend hiking and camping next to a small lake named Trehrningen just outside Huddinge. This is a place that generally only locals visit.
When we looked through our photos from last summer we noticed that we had some that were interesting enough to publish but that didnt fit well in any of the other blog entries. These random leftovers we have now put together in this blog entry.
Huddinge is a city south of Stockholm and it is generally considered a part of greater Stockholm area. It makes perfect sense to say that since the Stockholm Metro system actually goes to Huddinge. In June we spent a weekend hiking and camping next to a small lake named Trehrningen just outside Huddinge. This is a place that generally only locals visit. In fact, we would not have found it without our friends who have better local knowledge than us. We have added a short film we took there.
Bohus Malmn is an island on the Swedish west coast. Fishing industry has long been important on that island and in late 19th century and early 20th century stone industry was big business for a few decades when they extracted high quality granite on the
Roughly one and a half hours by car north of Stockholm is a small town named Grisslehamn. Just outside Grisslehamn, on a rock overlooking the Baltic Sea, the Swedish author Albert Engstrm used to have a cottage. The cottage is today a part of the Albert Engstrm museum.
When we looked at Wikipedias article on Albert Engstrm we learned that he was actually born In Lnneberga, a place we visited earlier this year and have mentioned in a previous blog entry.
Strngns is a town about one hour by car from Stockholm. We spent a few days there over midsummer because a friend needed us to take care of her cat while the cat owner herself was in Spain visiting her son.
Since we had some time on our hands we did a little bit of sightseeing there. Today we only publish a few photos of the the main attraction in Strngns, the cathedral. One day we might get around to writing more about Strngns, because we think Strngns deserves more than just this tiny little presentation.
The origin of this indentation is unknown to us. It looks like a footprint but we are sure that it isnt
from Laholm on the Swedish west coast and her sisters and her parents still live there. Not surprisingly quite natural for us to visit Laholm every now and then.
This summer we spent the last few days of our vacation there. One of those days we rented a kayak and paddled on Hjrnered Lakes a few, very relaxing, hours.
We also visited the Danish Waterfalls, which is a small waterfall in a local stream not far from Laholm. According to legend in a war with Denmark Danish troupes were lured onto a bridge that spanned the waterfall. When the Danish soldiers were on the bridge it either collapsed by itself or it was made to collapse through sabotage. The Danish soldiers ended up in the water and drowned. It is an interesting story but we have doubts about its authenticity. There was very little water in the waterfall and it is not likely that you drown if you fall into the water. You would only get a little wet and then you would climb out of the water and happily live on with your life.

in Smland District known for the many wooden houses in the historical town centre. It is one of several towns in Sweden where the centre is dominated by low wooden houses. Eksj and two other towns we have blogged from, Hjo and Nora, have for marketing purposes formed a kind of an alliance they call Three Wooden Towns.
Outside Stockholm there is a large archipelago that we love visiting. Some islands are linked to the mainland either by bridges or by car ferry and are accessible by car and/or bus. Other islands one can reach by using passenger ferries from Stockholm.
