Hi everyone!
On Sunday the 19th of October we're planning a hike in Nackareservatet in (Nacka Nature Reserve) in Stockholm.
The hike will be around 7.5 km at a fairly relaxed pace, starting and ending at the Hellasgården recreational area near Källtorp lake. We'll be following a marked trail and the terrain is mostly gravel paths and is not difficult. I recommend bringing shoes that can handle a bit of mud, and rain gear too if we get any showery spells.
There are spots for having fika along the walk and there's also a shorter route that is 5 km long which takes about 1 hour, at a brisk pace. So feel free to take a packed lunch of snacks if you like!
At Hellasgården they have a Café for lunch before or fika after (if we're quick), and a restaurant which is open until 17
The hike starts at 11:00 from Hellasgården bus stop (beside the tennis courts, across the road from the restaurant and main car park). So put it in your calendar and we hope to see you there!
Oh, don't forget to bring a camera for those autumn leaves!
P.s. If the weather is rubbish we may cancel, so keep an eye on our event.
Instructions on how to get to Hellasgården with public transport are as follows:
1. Take a bus from Slussen: the 401 (towards Älta), it stops at Hellasgården and goes through Henriksdal and Sickla.
2. Take a bus from Nacka: the 840 (from Strand to Handenterminalen) and 821 (from Nacka Sjukhus to Tyresö Centrum), both stop at Hellasgården.
TL;DR
7 km nature hike from Hellasgården to Hellasgården @ 1100 on 19/10/2025
