Nackareservatet

Hellasgården outdoor gym, Nacka nature reserve, Stockholm, June 2020 This one is built in timber. At Hellasgården, a forest recreation area about 15 minutes by bus from Slussen in central Stockholm, the outdoor gym sits beside a jogging track, and its benches, incline boards and pull-up beams are heavy wooden frames set on gravel under the trees. On this June day a lifter is working through them. The bonus is what comes after: the lake, Källtorpssjön, is right there for a cold plunge, and locals swim it year-round through a hole cut in the winter ice.
