Södergarn

Södergarn is a bathing site on the Askrikefjärden shoreline in Lidingö Municipality with distinct swimming zones and changing facilities. The location extends along the waterfront and provides access to both the water and adjacent forest during summer months.

The site was established by Handelsbanken as a facility for corporate training and recreational use, maintaining this dual purpose over many decades. The connection to the banking sector shaped how the property developed and continues to function.

The site draws local swimmers who come during warm months to enjoy the shoreline and nearby woodland. The place reflects how residents in this area integrate water activities with outdoor leisure in their seasonal routines.

The bathing site is easily accessible by public transportation from central Stockholm and takes around twenty minutes to reach. Facilities and access are primarily available during the warmer summer season when conditions are suitable for swimming.

The surrounding woodland is rich with blueberries and mushrooms that visitors can forage while spending time at the site. This combination transforms a swimming visit into a broader outdoor experience that connects water and forest activities.
