A 1,700-hectare (4,200-acre) natural reserve within walking distance from the city centre. One of the main sights in the reserve is Hågahögen (aka Kung Björns hög), a bronze age burial mound. It held the most gold of any Bronze Age tomb in Scandinavia and contained about a third of all the Bronze Age gold objects ever found in Sweden! Dating from around 1000 BC, it is twice as old as the more famous Old Uppsala burial mounds. Some 3 km south of the mound you can find remnants of the Bronze Age hillfort Predikstolen. The natural reserve is part of the proposed Linnaean UNESCO World Heritage.

Accept groups from 4 to 10 people, though a group of 8 is recommended.

Built in the 14th century, it has been rebuilt into a café.

A recreation area some 10 km south west of central Uppsala. You can fish, bathe, or skate on lake Mälaren, or hike or ski around the local tracks. The site is also popular among ornithologists.
