Utnäset
On the outskirts of the great national park Tividen lies a smaller park called Utnäset. Short walk in the forest presented quite nice views.

Varnhem abbey
Yet another place of historic significance. We’ve passed by this place many times on our way to/from Karlsborg but never stopped to visit before. Doing so with a small child who rather do other tings than looking at an old church/ruin could have been easier, but we managed.
Karlsborg (again)
This time around we spent more time in town, walking around looking at the harbor for example. We also visited the famous café, Nymans Bed & Breakfastwhere they exhibit art that you can buy. We also went to the beach and we also tried our luck at gold panning in Granvik.
Karlsborg
Over the years I’ve come to visit this small Swedish town couple of times per year. But never really explored it much. One day we decided to go to the garrison/fortress and check it out. We took a guided tour and the we could free roam for a while before we decided to visit the café.
Anten – Gräfsnäs (open air rail museum)
This open air railway museum I’ve visited as a child, but did not remember much from it. So we went there again. It’s a short train ride between Anten and Gräfsnäs and while you wait for the train to turn around you can take a walk in the area and visit the castle ruin, which according to legend is cursed, and that’s why it has burned down.
Läckö Castle
The drive north to Läckö castle from central Lidköping took about 30 minutes. We took the guided tour, walked around the surroundings, saw the viking ship Sigrid Storråda and almost stepped on a viper.
