In fact Skansen is a folk museum and Nordic zoo combined all year round, and in December it has Christmas Markets at the weekend. It's a very long time since we ventured there in good weather and we must get around to doing that sometime soon. Meanwhile like every day we were in Stockholm the day we went to Skansen was very snowy. It's also quite hilly which isn't a great combination. I took lots and lots of photos because honestly the place looked like Narnia and it was so beautiful but I'm only going to post a few. Some of the market and some of the animals in the zoo. I was sorry to see that the wolves have gone; no idea where. Maybe they staged a mass breakout? Whatever, their extremely large compound has been taken over by the lynx(es) and I think the place where the lynx was has now been given over to the arctic fox. The wolverine, true to form, did not show itself. I think it only comes out in the summer and on days that don't have a y in them.
We paid extra to go on their Winter Lights Walk - well worth it and a few pictures of that coming up in a day or two.
That looks magical!
ReplyDeleteIt actually was - despite the cold. I've got little videos of the lynxes and the arctic fox, also some spontaneous dancing in the central circle, but I've never managed to put a video on the blog. It was a super day.
