하가달렌-나스텐 최고의 사이클링 경로

강을 따라 달리거나 자전거를 타거나 걸을 때 마치 세상의 완전히 다른 곳에 있는 듯한 느낌이 듭니다.

Built from 1549 onwards as a fortress by Gustav Vasa, the castle was only rebuilt into a grand Renaissance palace after a fire in 1572. The old cannons on the Styrbiskop bastion still bear witness to its fortified early years.

Within the remaining ruins of Uppsala's original 16th-century castle, the Vasaborgen Museum offers insights into the history of Swedish rulers, recounting tales of kings and queens, princes and princesses. Guided tours led by costumed guides also reveal gruesome details of gruesome and violent sudden deaths. The museum is open from June 1st to September 1st.

What would old fortresses be – anywhere in the world – without these decorative old cannons?

With its commanding position on Kasåsen hill high above Uppsala, the castle is visible from afar. Today it is the residence of the Governor of Uppsala County. Built as a fortification by Gustav Vasa starting in 1549, the castle was the site of the Sture Murders in 1567, the decision regarding Sweden's participation in the Thirty Years' War was made here, Queen Christina abdicated here in 1654, and many of Sweden's former kings and queens were born and lived here. As early as 1572, the castle had been remodeled by Johan III and expanded into a grand Renaissance palace. After the great city fire of 1702, parts of the main building, the so-called Cross Castle, were demolished. During its reconstruction in 1744, the entire castle acquired its present form in the French Neoclassical style, based on designs by Carl Hårleman. The room, the district council hall, which was specially set up for the district council meetings after the municipal reform of 1862, is today primarily used as a representative reception room.

Not only can you climb the castle 🏰, but also the art museum and a historical museum, "Uppsala Slottsmuseum," within the castle. Both are very interesting and free of charge. In front of the castle stands the wooden Gunillia Tower.

Nice tables on the slope.

A beautiful path running through the pine trees. Take care not to trip over the mossy rocks.
