Reviewed By Eclipsegroupie - Arlington, Virginia
Husaby Church is a lovely Romanesque church with a three-steeple stone tower that dates from the early 12th century. Inside, worth noting are a rare wooden screen from 1670, a 13th century Gothic triumph crucifix, a 13th century baptismal font, and a medieval altar. The 15th century vault was painted with frescos that were white washed and then reproduced in the early 20th century. The frescos in the apse are original.
We enjoy visiting older churches and are glad we happened on this one as we were looking for the Bronze Age stone carvings a few hundred meters to the east. The church is "on the way" from Stockholm to western Sweden (just off 44) and worth a stop if you're in the vicinity. I wouldn't recommend going far out of your way to find it, though.
When we were there, there was a rather long recorded narration of the church and its history in Swedish and then German, but not English (unless that had preceded the Swedish). There were small pamphlets about the church for sale in the major European languages, including English.

Det här är Kinnekulles största naturreservat och här hittar du en unik flora och fauna. Den består av lövskog, barrskog, betesmarker och alvarmark. De olika markerna och omgivningarna har gett förutsättningar för en frodig växtlighet. Här hittar du olika sorters orkidéer.
Underbar område för att ströva runt i och framför allt för att fotografera växter.

When I was little we used to go in springtime when the ice starts to melt in the waterfall. Bring lots of picnic and hot drinks! It's an oasis and lots of fun for kids to play. Nature at its best.

Vi var 4 personer som hade bokat en utflykt med denna vikingabåt. Den är byggd såsom originalet var. Båten avgick från Läckö slottsbrygga och rundturen tog 2,5 tim. Innan vi gav oss av berättade en av besättningen historien bakom den riktiga Sigrid Storråda. Mycket intressant. Vi tog oss ända ut till Navens fyr, för att sedan vända hemåt. Det var strålande väder om än lite blåsigt. Besättningen tillhandahöll filtar som vi virade in våra bara ben med. Per person var kostnaden 250 kr
