Early Autumn Hike & BBQ
Frösviken National Park
Join us for a chill Saturday hike at Frösviken National Park. We’ll meet at Ropsten and take the 10:00 AM ferry to Frösviken, passing several small islands along the way. There will be time for a fika on the boat.
Once we arrive, we’ll hike the Frösviksrundan Trail (7.1–7.5 km, red-marked, ~2 hours), which is mostly easy to moderate. The trail passes through forests, by lakes, and over hills. Notable stops include Kvarnberget, with its views over the bay, Lindskogen’s 300-year-old lime trees, and Tegelbrukshagen, an area with a history of clay and brick making.
During the hike, we will be accompanied by Vlad, explaining everything about mushrooms. You’ll have the chance to learn how to identify mushrooms, and possibly pick a few to grill later at the BBQ.
After the hike, we’ll take the ferry to Tranholmen island for an optional lunch BBQ. Please bring your own food and a bit more to share for the grill; some basics will be provided. You could also continue the ferry for an early return to Stockholm.
