The way to Himmelstalund from the centre of Norrköping is half the fun.

This walking route is known as the Åbackarna and has lots to enjoy as it traces the course of the Motala ström.

One attraction is the rhododendrondalen (Valley of Rhododendrons), which is exactly what it claims to be, a pathway through stunning rhododendron bushes, radiant when they’re in bloom in spring and summer.
