Ice skating

Nice day for it Ice skating
February has been freezing in Stockholm. We don't have much snow, but the ice on lake Drevviken looked very inviting yesterday. I read the ice report, and it said that there were three ploughed paths for the ice skaters to enjoy. You need to be fit to try your luck at the longest one at 22km. The lake covers four municipalities, Stockholm, Tyresö, Huddinge and my neck of the woods, Haninge. While on the bike near Skogås I could see a lot of people walking on the frozen lake and half an hour later I parked the eBike near the circular pier and walked out for a closer look. It was a beautiful Winter day, although a few degrees too cold for my liking, around freezing.

How do they know if there is no thin ice underneath?

You read the ice report every day for starters. And this path is ploughed by a rather heavy vehicle.

Looks very good.

I think you have to be very fit to do this.

That looks wonderful. We have so much snow here and the cold weather.

Must be a lot of people using this for skating if they plough the area for them.
