hellasgården is where you can find us on fridays during the spring and autumn months. kai loves mountain biking so we ride out every friday, usually a 30-40 minute ride, then he rides with his group for 1h30 before we head back. it's an exhausting evening for kai but one that he loves.
while kai bikes the trails, i will hangout by the lake, sometimes i will hike a little ways, and when the weather is cold i will tuck myself away in the cafe for a tea and read my book. the one friday that is warm enough, we'll plan ahead and have a little picnic after kai's ride.
the atmosphere is peaceful and relaxing. only 20 minutes from stockholm by bus, you enter a swedish nature reserve. the lake is lovely... it's fun to observe the swedes jumping into the water after their sauna. and funny to watch the non-swedes!
it's become a pretty special place for us... since his classes ended, kai has been to hellasgården with a friend to ride the trails - it was a big moment for me to let him go on his own but he reassured me that he was very familiar with the trails and i could see his point, he's been riding them for a couple of years now. it turned out okay :)
following are some pics taken over our six consecutive spring fridays...
if you are visiting stockholm... get yourself to this forest, you won't be disappointed.
