It is the only burial-place out of the town; the others all lie between the churches and the neighbouring houses, whose fronts often form the immediate boundary. Burials take place there constantly, so that the inhabitants are quite familiar with the aspect of death. From the great cemetery a road leads to the neighbouring Karlberg, which is the academy for military and naval cadets.
In the vicinity a trip may be made to the beautiful and diversified scenery of the Royal Park, or the military school at Karlberg, or to the ancient royal castle of Gripsholm on the Lake of Malar. But our last excursion must be directed, by way of Upsala, to the iron- mines of Danemora. The little village of Danemora is embosomed in woods.
I made a very agreeable excursion also to the royal palace of Haga, to the large cemetery, and to the military school Karlberg. The royal castle of Haga is surrounded by a magnificent park, which owes little to art; it contains some of the finest trees, with here and there a hill, and is crossed by majestic alleys and well-kept roads for driving and walking.
