Beautiful section of the trail along the coast.

A very beautiful sculpture park with changing exhibitions. The sculptures on display change regularly, or even annually. Therefore, don't rely on the photos published on Komoot, as these sculptures will probably no longer be there next year and other sculptures will replace them. Anna is, of course, always there. Our expectations were set by pictures of Ai Wei Wei's exhibits, and we looked in vain for her. It's best to check the park's website, pilane.org, in advance for information about the current exhibition. Plan about 1-1.5 hours for the visit. You should be a good walker, as some of the paths run over rocks.

It's a beautiful park worth a visit even for non-art lovers. It's best to go without a stroller.

I came here quite by chance, as you can see the white head of "Anna" from a long way away. The park can also be cycled with a gravel bike or mountain bike, if you are willing to carry the bike up several flights of stairs and don't "have to" cycle down every sculpture.

On the initiative of an art collector, a sculpture park has been created here that is unrivaled in Sweden, the Pilane Sculpture Park. At the very top, Anna is enthroned with a radiant white facial sculpture by the Spanish artist Jaume Plensa. She has a sister in Ekeberg Park in Oslo. 19 other works of art are currently (= 2024) placed in the landscape and connected by hiking trails. These include, for example, "Iron Figures" by Maats Lodé (S) or "Cancan" by Anna Fasshauer (D) The park is not wheelchair accessible. Ticket (at the cash desk): 150/130 SEK More information and opening times: https://pilane.org/en/index.php
