Alaska, Stone garden in Nord Långö, Sweden.

The park features multiple terraces, pavilions, towers, bridges, and walls constructed with local stone, shells, and cement across the hilly landscape.

Hilma Svedahl created this park in the 1930s after returning from a 30-year journey in America, where she worked as a gold digger in Alaska.

The garden design incorporates elements from Japanese gardens that Svedahl encountered during her time in San Francisco, merged with Nordic architectural features.

Visitors can reach the park by taking the M/S Sara boat from Strömstad's northern harbor during summer months, with advance reservations recommended.

The Temple of Winds and Golden Gate structures remain as original elements of Svedahl's vision, representing her interpretation of American landmarks.
