Only a 35-minute drive from the Stockholm-Skavsta Airport, the Swedish village of Tunaberg is an excellent place for a weekend getaway and an opportunity to explore the part of the Baltic coast flanked by a string of countless ragged skerries. This is where you will find the granite rock massif of Simonsberget with its selection of classic rock-climbing routes totalling 50 metres in height. After a good climb or a short walk up the mountain paths you can reach the top to sit on a bench and feast your eyes on the magnificent panoramic view of the forests and the Baltic Sea.

As for the rocks near Lake Ågelsjön, they are a 70-kilometre drive from the airport. A genuine oasis for recreation, the location offers an opportunity to do some rock-climbing, enjoy some sunbathing and go for a refreshing swim... and spend the night under the star-scattered sky. With their countless sport- and classical rock-climbing routes, the rocks in the vicinity of Lake Ågelsjön are the most popular rock-climbing site in the Norrköping Municipality. It is also possible to try some deep water soloing (DWS) - rock-climbing directly above water without any safety equipment.
