The Ecological park

The world's first urban national park, consisting of a continuous stretch of greenery extending from the Fjäderholmarna islands to Djurgården, and on to Haga-Brunnsviken, Frescati and Ulriksdal.

The scenery varies between meadows, lakes, hardwood forests and park-like areas. The park is important ecologically, as it is home to a large number of plants and animals, including many species of rare birds.

The buildings and cultural landscapes found in Ekoparken reflect the development of Stockholm and Sweden since the 17th century. Swedish kings such as Karl XI and Gustav III laid the foundations for the park by establishing the Djurgården hunting grounds and the Gustavian park around Haga-Brunnsviken and Ulriksdal.
