Amazing park I was so surprised come here amazing to have park inside a city Such a great nature spot, for everyone who loves to be outdoors, birders and photographers. Området är stort och det finns ett flertal alternativ för promenader. Vi parkerade vid ridskolan och caféet, hittade en promenad väg att gå men tyvärr kom vi inte fram till vårt "mål" då vi upplevde att det inte var skyltat tydligt. 😟 Till lunch tog jag en räkmacka och den var god! Vacker natur Beautiful views! One of my favorite places near home to take a walk and take pictures. Amazing oaks. It is quite beautiful, but the noise from the motorway echoes throughout the reserve and they have neglected to maintain nor even mark the historic archeoligical sites with signs. Superbe balade a faire dans la réserve et autour du lac !! On peut aussi le faire a vélo There are better nature reserves around Stockholm, but if this is the closest to you, it's a nice bit of nature and can also spot some animals. Fantastic time there and happy to be in such a good place Säby gård — a manor that has stood here since the 17th century. The name comes from Old Swedish sä — “lake” (sjö [ɧøː]) and by — “village”. Literally — “the village by the lake.” The first written mention dates back to 1408. In the 16th century it was a frälsegård (a tax-exempt estate), later, in the 1630s, it became a säteri (a noble manor). The main building was erected in the mid-17th century, a second floor was added in the 18th, and low side wings appeared around 1800. Today Säby gård is a protected heritage site (byggnadsminne) since 1983. It now houses the Säby Waldorf-förskola (Waldorf preschool) and lies in the middle of the Järvafältet nature reserve. But this place is known for more than its architecture. There’s a chilling story — “The Demon of Säby gård.” Late 19th century, a small cottage called Fiskartorpet by the lake Säbysjön. A family lived there peacefully until their five-year-old daughter began waking at night to strange rustling and clicking sounds. Her mother thought it was just dreams — until morning came and the girl’s face showed marks, as if someone had slapped her. A priest (präst [prɛst]) was called in to cleanse the house, but things only got worse. The child grew weaker, stopped eating, and soon began to fade away. The family fled, leaving the cottage behind. Since then, locals whisper that at night near Fiskartorpet you can still hear soft footsteps and a child’s cry. And if you stand by the water, sometimes in the reflection you’ll see a small figure, standing still — as if calling from the shore. Very nice Underbart naturområde. Fantastic walk in this nature reserved place with the palace hotell and lake view. The trees are labeled with the name of the kind. Recommended for a good relaxing walk alone or with your love. Nice place for a walk or cycling Website change monitoring Monitor any webpage for changes – get instant email alerts when prices drop, new jobs are posted, products come back in stock, or competitors update their sites.
