Took the subway to reach this. It's like right next to the subway station. It's seriously so big there! I was impressed that the roads to this place were also cleared since I didn't expect it to be cleared.

Every year, Saturday between 31 October and 6 November is "All Saint´s DAy" in Sweden. At SKogskyrkogården, people visit and bring candles to the graves. All other lights in Skogskyrkogården are off.

Especially wintertime with snow is a beautiful place to visit. Big pine trees are welcoming you. Spring gives you prosperity with light green birch trees. More
