Scenic situated ancient castle from the Iron Age. The walls are well visible and the place is a nice destination for both large and small.<\/p>\n
Skutters skans is one of about 150 ancient cities in Uppland. Here came the people to seek protection from enemies in troubled times. The castle was a safe place for both people and pets from the surrounding area.<\/p>\n
The stone wall that surrounds the castle is up to two meters high and in its sides the walls are double. Today it is not much besides the ramparts that show how it looked when the castle was in use - there are no traces of houses or former battles.<\/p>\n
The castle environment gives the imagination room to play and it is easy to forget about the time while playing straw robbers or Indians. The picnic food never tastes as good as chasing away thieves, bandits, and evil black knights!<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
