About this audio guide
This guide to the Delsjö nature reserve on the eastern edge of Gothenburg follows Pelle Bertilsson, an Olympic gymnast of nineteen twelve who spent five years teaching fencing in Havana before coming home to these woods. It picks him up in the late nineteen twenties, with a small red cottage near Lilla Delsjön and a habit of Sunday visitors. Best heard on the path near the lakes, among the weekend walkers.
