A wintertime tour of the Stockholm archipelago is at least as lovely as one in summer.  The air is fresh and crisp, and the dark water is a stark contrast to the snow-droped islands. It is quiet, peaceful.  Finnhamn, Moja and Sandhamn are some of the islands you can visit in winter. u can also take a guided tour, eat a Christmas buffet or ride to a Christmas market, for example on Uto.

At Varpsund, 15 km from Sigtuna, a rune stone very nearly three metres high was erected in the 11th century in memory of Gunlev, who died in Ingvar's expedition. The stone could be seen far and wide. The site was chosen with great car, a high point of land beside a narrow channel.  It was a place where two routes met, both the waterway from Lake Malaren and on up towards Ekoin and Uppsala, and the over-load road past the royal estate of Hatuna and Skoklosterlandet.  There may have been a ferry berth right where the stone stands. This was a place passed by many travellers. There are at least another 24 stones in and around Malardalen honouring men who followed Ingvar east never to return,  One stone tells us that"They went manfully far for gold" they "gave the eagle food" and "they died in the south in Sarkland" (the Norsemen's name for the Middle East, Arabia or Muslim countries) A picture emerges of a spirited Viking expedition to the Ea...

Meet "  Grisma ", the rich Viking chieftain,s daughter According to legend, the ancient castle of Broborg may be linked to a Viking chieftain's daughter named Grisma.  Grismas's father is said to have died while on a Viking expedition, at which point Grisma inherited the castle and all its riches. One day a man came to the castle claiming that he was her brother and that the castle rightlfully belonged to him.   He commanded Grisma  to open the doors so he could claim his father's inheritance. Grism entrenched herself in the castle.  Rather than allow the unknown brother the take over, she set fire to the castle and died in the flames.  The fire was so intense that it could be seen as far away as Uppsala, 25 kilometres away.  Her "brother" buried her in a mound next to the castle.  Even tody there is a burial mound 350m southwest of the castle, known as Grisma's mound See the film and hear about Grisma and Broborg at  www.vikin...
