Latest updates

September 1st 2026


It's already September, but the summer warmth is still lingering. The trees are already starting to turn brown, though more from thirst than from autumn colors. Perhaps it's also a good idea to bring a water bottle when you head out for a walk? As usual, tickets can be purchased via the Calendar.


September offers a tour on the 23rd about the old steam power station, a landmark that we in Västerås can truly be proud of. We promise a particularly fascinating tour about this remarkable site!


At the end of October, 26-30 October, we will once again run our popular Myling tours, which are offered only during the autumn school break (week 44). These tours have just the right mix of feel-good atmosphere and spine-tingling thrills! Suitable for both adults and children (from 7 years of age). A frightfully warm welcome awaits you!
