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.
Bror Hjorth's House
The home and studio of the 20th-century sculptor and painter Bror Hjorth is now a museum dedicated to his life and art. Especially interesting for those who like nativist paintings.
Stadsskogen, which literally means "The Town Forest", is a 108-hectare (267-acre) forested park and natural reserve. It is filled with small paths and trails, making it a great recreational area for hiking, biking, skiing and jogging. The forest had been used as a stone quarry and military practice field, and remains from these activities can still be seen. One section of the forest known as "Trollskogen" (The Trolls' Woods) developed freely, untouched by human intervention, for the last 50 years.
Uppsala Old Cemetery
The largest cemetery in Uppsala is a beautiful place for a walk.
