The Apoteksskogen forest, through which the Smedgärdsspåret trail runs, is situated on the Stockholmsåsen, a glacial esker landscape, and consists largely of what is known as sand pine forest (sandbarrskog) – a natural habitat that has become rare in Sweden and is worthy of protection.

The beach at Lake Edsviken blends beautifully into the parkland surrounding the castle. The fountain in the lake is a particular eye-catcher. An idyllic place to linger.

In winter, the lake is fantastic for ice skating; when there's enough ice, a 14-kilometer circular track is cleared to create an ice rink. Skates are available for rent on-site on weekends.

A charming spot by Lake Sollentuna where ducks gather and the shoreline is dotted with smooth stones. There are plenty of benches to sit, relax, and enjoy the view.

Along the lake you will find an easy lakeside path with frequent water views, small beaches and short forest sections. The shore promenade is well maintained and ideal for relaxed walks or runs, while the rise toward Bunkebergsåsen adds a slightly higher vantage point. A calm, scenic stretch with regular access points and benches.

Final 1.5km of road from Väsby does not have a bike path, you need to ride on the small hard shoulder. Speed limit is 70 km/h. Good long stretches so traffic can see you. Be aware when riding slower bikes.
