Walking from Downtown Stockholm to Nacka
You can see Fåfängan from this next photo, it is the hill with the trees on top in a row of exactly the same height. The SOS tracks also have a tunnel through this hill, and goes through the container lot used by the cruise ships. The entrance on the other side of the hill was blockaded, but I havn’t yet checked the entrance on the shipyard side (and will eventually).
This is an intimidating “retirement castle” near my apartment, officially named Danvikshem. It really does look like a castle and used to be a hospital at the turn of the century, but it’s now an old peoples’ home.
Danvikshem sits on its own hill with a nice view, but the only reason I was walking up here was to investigate a house I believed to be abandoned on the grounds. You can see the building I’m talking about by aerial photo, and I noticed it while walking around the neighborhood of my apartment one day.
The retirement castle and my apartment are on this small peninsula in the northern part of Nacka, which is a small borough just east of Stockholm. Further down the street is an area called Kvarnholmen, which has a lot of industrial history from a bygon era.
You can see in the photo below an obviously abandoned factory building that’s right next to modern apartments.
This is my apartment complex on Henriksdalsberget
