vinterviken

Vinterviken is a popular swimming/sunbathing area close to the old Nobel dynamite factories, old explosion test caves can be seen when walking around the seaside area. The old factory building is a Cafe/Museum.Good place to have a good time when the sun is making the mountion rock hot, bring something to sit on, otherwise its too hot to sit on the bare rock. Beware that it may be packed in summertime during warm evenings due to the beuatiful sunset view.Closest metro is Axelsberg, walk northeast towards the water.

Fun fact: Nobel was forced out of Vinterviken by the city council, due to several fatal accidents related to explosive experiments.

trekanten lake

One of the main features of the Liljeholmen borough is the lake Trekanten "Three corners", which is ideal for both swimming in at summertime and ice-skating in the winter! Take a relaxing 2½ kilometre 1½ mile walk around the magnificent lake and take some impressive holiday snaps which are bound to make anyone's next destination Trekanten! On the walk you will come across a half-grass half-sand beach, where the water temperatures are quite high in the summers, when many are seen bathing in the safe, clear water. If you are visiting in winter, don't miss the hill about half way through the walk which is ideal for tobogganing on when the snow is thick. At summer, you can also take a fishing rod and do some fishing with the locals, if you ask the fishing club for permission. There are two ice-cream shops, one at the beach and one at the entrance of the lake. A small café serving hot food is located about a quarter of the way round the lake.
