Hammarbybacken

Fotbollsplan Vertical Challenge A steep climb
Guess what? I walked up that ski hill again. Hammarbybacken. Came back down with way too many photos, as is the rule. The first photo here shows a soccer pitch at Hammarbyhöjden. Although we would call it a "fotbollsplan". Or an "idrottsplats" I took that shot before walking up to the highest point of the artificial hill. It was a very fine May day. Lots of people out walking. And quite a few hiking straight up, which you can see in the second photo, instead of using the path which you can see in the third and last photo. Both ways to reach the top can be quite hard, but also a very good workout. And there are more ways to get up and down, I often walk down using the new stairs as I always park my bike near the entrance.

There’s something special about choosing your own path up the hill and soaking in the views, especially on a sunny May day with plenty of people enjoying the outdoors!

A walk like that has to be good for the leg muscles and the heart. And the reward....great views.
