Happens during the city walk
A city walk at Skogskyrkogården with a guide. Even if we don't enter any chapels on this tour, I dare to promise a very interesting viewing.
You are walking in a cemetery that lacks a church. Hear the story of how it all began, why this location was chosen and about the collaboration between architects Gunnar Asplund and Sigurd Lewerentz.
You experience landscape architecture mixed with Swedish forest and iconic buildings. More than 2,000 funerals take place here every year. The forest cemetery was added to the UNESCO World Heritage List in 1994.
The city walk at Skogskyrkogården starts at the iconic elm height and continues to the path of seven wells. You are fascinated by the furrows, see the chapel, Greta Garbo's grave and the fabulous Forest Chapel.
Book the Forest Cemetery with me for an experience you won't soon forget. I tell the story with passion and storytelling.
Skogskyrkogården is a burial ground in the Gamla Enskede district in Stockholm. It was inaugurated in 1920. The entire facility is considered one of the most important works of modern architecture and was included in the UNESCO World Heritage List in 1994.
