Tyresö Castle is beautifully situated by Kalvfjärden in Tyresö, just south of Stockholm. We went here one day last week when we both strolled in the English park and had a picnic on Notholmen. In addition, there was a nice hike on a small part of the Pilgrim Trail, in Alby nature reserve.

Karlberg Castle Park is just a few minutes' walk from where we live. Yet it took us several years to realise that there are great running trails there. Even more surprisingly, we discovered lots of sights, so one day we had to take our camera with us.

Ivön and Bäckaskog Castle in Skåne is located just northeast of Kristianstad. We were here on a very rainy day in May this year, but despite the rainy weather we had a very nice day. We also spent a long time looking for a very special horse grave.

Yangtorp is something as unusual as a giant qigong temple in Skåne. In the middle of the Scanian landscape, among fields, cows and cottages, rises the magnificent and ornate temple. For a long time the temple lay in ruins and was robbed of everything of value. Now it has risen again, and today qigong courses, retreats and conferences are organised here.

Located in the centre of Stockholm, Rörstrand Castle is perhaps one of Stockholm's least known (and most hidden!) castles. We live relatively close to the castle and almost every day we pass the large porcelain pile that reminds us of what was once the Rörstrand porcelain factory. One day we decided to explore the history of the castle and the factory. It was even more exciting than expected, not least because this turned out to be almost the last chance to see the inside of the castle.

When we travelled home on Sunday from our Motorhome weekend at Jogersö we needed a place to stop and eat our lunchtime lamb sausage. What could be better than a castle? I googled on my iPhone and that's how we found Tullgarn Castle outside Trosa. Here we walked around in the footsteps of kings and tsars, while learning why the shopping centre in Huddinge is called "Kungens kurva"...
