PHOTO: HELENA PERSSON

This is the universitys collection of sketches and
models for public art. In 1934, Professor of Art, Ragnar
Josephsson, began to assemble these archives. His
idea was to document artistic creative processes from
idea to finished works of art, and in doing so, forge an
excellent learning tool for art students. Here you can
find both outdoor and indoor works by famous artists,
including Picasso, Matisse, Leger, Isaac Grnewald and
Carl Milles.

Sofiero Palace & Gardens

SOFIERO PALACE AND GARDENS,

HELSINGBORG
Sofiero Palace was, until the 1970, A SUMMER RESIDENCE FOR SWEDISH ROYALTY SITUATED IN
THE NORTH OF THE TOWN HELSINGBORG. THE MAGNIFICENT HERITAGE OF THOUSANDS OF
RHODODENDRONS, BEDS, BORDERS AND KITCHEN GARDENS IS CAREFULLY TENDED BY A TEAM
OF DEDICATED EXPERTS. IN 2010, SOFIERO WAS VOTED EUROPES BEST PARK. EXHIBITIONS IN THE
PALACE AND A VARIETY OF EXCITING ACTIVITIES IN THE BEAUTIFUL PARK AND GARDENS ARE
SOME OF THE THINGS YOU CAN LOOK FORWARD TO WHEN PLANNING YOUR VISIT.

SOFIERO 150 YEARS
Once upon a time there was a prince and a princess
... As many stories begin, the story about Sofiero also
begins with a prince and a princess. In 1866, Crown
Prince Oscar and his wife Sophia of Nassau finally could
spend their first summer at the summer palace of their
dreams overlooking the wooded gorges, the strait and
Denmark. This year the story about Sofiero turns 150
years and will be celebrated all through 2016 with a big
jubilee!
In the park there will be several surprises among them
the inauguration of our brand new Anniversary Garden.
In May and June the rhododendrons bloom and amidst
this blossoming beauty the visitors can experience a
hiking theatre in the park when the Helsingborg City
Theatre, in collaboration with the Summer theater of
Krapperup sets up William Shakespeares As You Like
It, between 12 May to 11 June. A hiking theatre among
blossoming rhododendrons with the plot set to 1866
as made for magic!

Throughout 2016 there will be celebrations of the
150th jubilee making every event in the palace and park
extra special. The Anniversary Exhibition at the palace
takes the visitor on a unique journey through several
generations of royal artistry in the Bernadotte dynasty
- from Danish Queen Margrethes textile art to the
Swedish Prince Carl-Philips industry design.
During the season of 2016 the jubilee will also make all
the regular events as the rhododendron season, guided
tours and the Childrens Party extra special. The last
weekend of August will be extra festive as The Great
Garden Party also celebrates 20 years as one of southern
Swedens most popular garden events!

50
GUIDED TOURS
ANNIVERSARY TOUR
For more than a hundred years, kings and queens have
left the stress of Stockholm to enjoy peaceful summers
at Sofiero. The Anniversary Tour takes you on a historic
journey through the gardens and through royal summer
life. We adapt the tour according to the season so that
you can enjoy the best that Sofiero has to offer. One
element that is always included is the fantastic view over
the strait of resund to Denmarks Kronborg Castle.
Available: All year
RHODODENDRON TIME
Princess Margareta planted the first rhododendron
at Sofiero in 1907 and its still here. It, and over
ten thousand other rhododendrons, blooms into
magnificence in May-June. A spectacle that is
unmatched in the whole of northern Europe. The
rhododendron tour presents a fascinating, as well
as entertaining, piece of history, from the very first
rhododendron to Gustav VI Adolfs considerable
interest in botany that originated in the collection of
rhododendrons in Sofieros borders and gullies.
Available: mid-May mid-June
150 YEARS OF BEAUTYSOFIEROS GARDEN
HISTORY
Sofiero is celebrating its150th anniversary in 2016! The
history of Sofieros gardens is both rich and chequered.
The gardens and borders were created mainly by
Princess Margareta and Gustav VI Adolf but, as was
the case then too, the park has successively altered
and developed over the years. The Sofiero gardens are
full of interesting secrets, stories and anecdotes, and
this walk is along wonderful flower borders, through
rhododendron gullies, to exotic trees and pleasure
gardens. In 2010 Sofiero was named Europes most
beautiful park.
Available: April-Sept
ROYAL SUMMERS
Sofiero was created in 1865 as a royal summer
residence. For more than a century, kings, queens,
princes and princesses spent their summers here away
from the limelight and free from the demands of public
life. The Royal Summers walk describes what life at
Sofiero was like when royalty stayed here what they
ate, the games the children played, how an ordinary day
was spent. The walk follows the traces that still remain
today, and gives a descriptive view of the private life of
the royals. Theres a wealth of stories and anecdotes to
be told.

SCULPTURE WALK
Sofiero is much more than just royalty and gorgeous
garden - there are also many sculptures here. Most
have been created by internationally acclaimed artists
especially for their exact location. A well-informed
guide explains about the sculptors, the sculptures,
and why they stand where they do. There are works by
Carl Milles, Olle Baertling, Jiro Sugawara and Michel
Sporgis, to name but a few. The Sculpture Walk passes
through the gardens, the gullies and by the palace, as
well as other, less-known and less-visited areas of Sofiero
that have their own special magic.
Available: All year
THE GARDEN FESTIVAL
Sofieros Garden Festival has been the annual highlight
for garden lovers for 20 years. For three days the
park brims with ideas and inspiration for inveterate
gardening enthusiasts as well as new garden owners.

expertise and a gardening fair tempts you to buy plants,
equipment and everything imaginable connected with
gardens. The Garden Festival is a hugely popular event

Prepare for the simple, sweeping vistas ALONG THE SEA, DRAMATIC CLIFFS AND PICTURESQUE

TODAY, YOU CAN STILL SPEND AN HOUR OR TWO ON THE TRAIL BETWEEN THE AQUAMARINE
SEA AND A PATCHWORK OF TINY FIELDS WITH A SCATTERING OF SHEEPAND NEVER SEE
ANOTHER VISITOR.

ENCOUNTER PEOPLE youd never meet otherwise
wildflowers youd never have noticedchapels whose
cool quietness youd never have entered. Again and
again, youll find a little fishing harbour and imagine for
a moment that youre in Provence or on the Italian coast.
But this is definitely Sweden.
Adventure will find you on leisurely walking tours where
the tempo is slower, more peaceful. And youll find it
incredibly easy to engage with the locals, whether our
friends who run a family vineyard or the potter invites us
into her workshop.
DAY 1.
Arrival in Helsingborg. After relaxing with a drink or
maybe afternoon tea its time for an excursion to find
out about the history of Helsingborg.
We start with the beautiful Sofiero Palace and park,
once the summer residence of the Swedish royal family.
Take the bus back to Helsingborg or take a walk! The
Kullaleden trail is well signposted from the palace, and
it takes about 1.5-2 hours to walk the 6 km through
three lush, flourishing city parks.
DAY 2.
The Kullaleden trail starts from the medieval tower
Krnan, the surviving part of Helsingborg Castle,
which was built in the 1310s, when Skne was Danish.
The Sound has its narrowest point at Helsingborg, and
youll enjoy a clear view of the Danish coast as you walk
towards Kullaberg. In Domsten you can visit the lovely
couple Lennart and Agneta, in their half timbered
house. They know a lot about their village and about
gardening. Find paved flower beds and lots of cosy

seating areas. Plenty of ideas for anyone wanting to
renew or change their garden.
DAY 3.
Hgans was originally a fishing village around which
a mining industry emerged in 1797 to extract coal and
clay for the production of fireproof ceramics (Hgans
pottery). The region around Hgans is also known
as Kullabygden and is well known for its ceramic
tradition. There are more than 40 ceramicists, and you
can also visit them in their workshops. Make sure you
visit the new market hall, housed in the old kilns where
the pottery used to be fired. Hgans salt-glazed vessels
are famous all over the world, and in the market hall
you can meet one of the potters from the old days
whos still making items by hand.
DAY 4.
Start your walk in the morning heading towards Mlle
and Kullaberg. The old windmill stands proudly on the
hill just inland. At Krapperup Castle theres not only a
wonderful park open all year but also a caf offering
tasty cakes and light meals. The castle houses an art
gallery and a small shop. After about one hours walk,
you reach the harbour at Mlle. Check into your hotel
and enjoy a tasty meal by the harbour. If youre lucky,
youll see the mountain glow as the sun sinks into the
sea.

DAY 5.
Enjoy the morning by the harbour at Mlle. You can
also try your hand at kayaking on the sea! Check out
at lunchtime, and walk alongside the sea down the
mountain towards Ransvik, approx. 20 minutes, where
theres a caf serving waffles and simple meals. From
there the walk continues up towards the top of the
mountain, Kullen Lighthouse. The section from Mlle
to Kullen Lighthouse takes approx. 1.5 hours and offers
fantastic views, forest and cliffs, beyond the hills, birch
and juniper forests.
DAY 6.
After a good nights sleep up on the mountain,
adventure awaits. Kullaberg offers visitors a fantastic
natural experience. Indeed, the Guide Michelin has
awarded Kullaberg a prestigious three-star rating in its
guide to Swedish sights. There are also guided bird and
flower walks, or for those who prefer going their own
way there are maps and GPS, which can be hired from
reception at the Kullaberg visitor centre.
DAY 7.
Check out and put together a small packed lunch. The
trail today takes us to the northern part of Kullaberg,
where forest dominates, although here and there the
landscape opens up and offers wonderful views over the
bay towards the Bjre Peninsula. The slopes here are
also a little longer, albeit not so difficult as to raise the
pulse. From here, its mostly downhill to Arild.
DAY 8.
Check out and start the last day of walking between
Arild and Utvlinge, a relatively gentle section covering
approx. 21 km
DAY 9.
Direct train from Helsingborg to Copenhagen.
