Bockholmens marina. Google Street View

This is a nice route on the eastern side of Brunnsviken Lake, combining a Botanical Garden, some paths along Bockholmens marina & Lappis Beach, and pleasant pedestrian walkways of the University of Stockholm. Part of the route overlaps with the Hahaparken perimeter loop, which can be used as a good add-on.

Start at the Botanical Garden (Bergianska trädgården), with a ~1.5 km loop around its scenic paths. Then, head north and join the waterside path that loops around the northern part of Djurgården, passing Bockholmens marina & Lappis Beach. This ~3 km section has some lovely water views. At the end of the waterside section of path, head west through the Stora Skuggan ecological park, continuing west into the campus of the University of Stockholm. There are nice pedestrian walkways around the campus. Complete the route by using the path exiting the north end of campus, on a path alongside Bergiusvägen, passing the Museum of Natural History.

Add-Ons: From the Botanical Garden, head south on paths along the lake, part of our longer Hakaparken loop.
