Since we hadn&#8217;t made any plans or preparations in advance, we chose a shortish cycle trip from Sp\u00e5nga to Riddersvik. <\/p>\n<p>Riddersvik turned out to be a beautiful old manor house with a lovely caf\u00e9 (excellent cakes, and pleasingly small in size as well) and pretty surroundings. There was an allotment garden below the manor itself, with views of lake M\u00e4laren, and a rose garden on the other side of the manor, and a playground for the kids.<\/p>\n<p>This was a nice contrast to what we saw last weekend at Svartsj\u00f6. I found the park around that castle rather depressing. This was a major castle, historically important, close to central Stockholm. It had obviously had grand surroundings once upon a time, but since then obviously hardly anyone had cared for it. For lack of better use it had been turned into a prison for a century, and the best that could be said of the park was that it existed, and was still more or less a park rather than wilderness. Overgrown and untended, with no plantings of any kind.<\/p>\n<p>As a coincidence it turned out that Riddersvik was called Flottsvik some centuries ago and was the other endpoint of the ferry connection between Svartsj\u00f6 and the mainland.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/helen\/blog\/images\/daily\/0590_Riddersvik_3.jpg\" class=\"x6y4\" \/><br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/helen\/blog\/images\/daily\/0590_Riddersvik_1.jpg\" class=\"x4y6\" \/><br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/helen\/blog\/images\/daily\/0590_Riddersvik_2.jpg\" class=\"x4y6\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Another Sunday, another outing based on an idea from a book, this time from &#8220;Alla dessa cykelpromenader i Stockholmstrakten&#8221;.
