  • Virtual walk and some short glimpses of Kalmar, place 34 on the list of largest cities in Sweden. This was filmed on a windy, slightly grey day in July 2024 as I stopped for lunch on my way further south. As always, please remember that my knowledge of history is barely Wikipedia-deep, please double check things that are important to you!

    Lived in Kalmar for about four years in the 1980´s, a wonderful and beautiful town whit great architecture and lots of friendly people. A benefit is of course that it´s so close to the magic island called Öland. (Kroppkakor med smält smör och lingon och sen lite ostkaka : )

    Wow, and yet another beautiful old town. Are they never ending?? Hope you can make it back there someday, looks like a lot of cool places to visit. Like sitting on the Gustav Vasa-backen, the third(?) longest bench in Sweden. Happy vacation travels, stay safe, and keep filming!! 👍🙏💛💙🙏👋

    Oh, so Magnus Ladulås was a king! If only he knew which street was named after him😉

    • @StockholmWalks
      @StockholmWalks  18 днів тому +3

      And the name Ladulås translates ”Barn lock” - as always when things happened a long time ago, reasons for nick names are not certain, but I’ve heard he told farmers to put locks on their barn to stop the excessive use by nobles to crash in anyone’s house and expect to be fed. Sound like he might have deserved a better street…
