On the fairytale trail the children (and the adults), will enjoy the nature and the culture of the area ingeniously and in a fun way. The fairytales, inspired by the well-known local poet Alf Hambe and decoded by the author Kent Hultqvist, give the hikers on the fairytale trail numerous fun fantasy-boosts connected to the selected sights of Steninge. Map and information for self-guiding is included.
