It's a cemetery, which is also a unesco world heritage. It is beautiful and very well maintained.

Really impressive UNESCO cemetery inside the forest. It's something that you probably can't find anywhere else in the world. Really worth a visit, walking in silence. Then you can take a rest on the grass on the hill next to the main entrance.

It is here, in the forest cemetery Skogskyrkogården, located on the outskirts of Stockholm, that many famous and distinguished people for science, culture and history of Sweden are buried. Here are the graves of, among others: Greta Garbo - a famous actress and Hollywood star, Eyvind Johnson - winner of the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1974. This place is inscribed on the UNESCO World Heritage List and is called "a grove for the dead". Walking around such a charming place, we can spend up to two hours there. There is a lovely cafe on site with fresh delicious cakes and brewed coffee. If you want to escape from the crowds in the city center for a moment, I highly recommend it. It will be a special time for you to breathe.
