Monteliusvägen
Monteliusvägen, 118 25 Stockholm
Cliffside footpath above a lake harbor, framing City Hall, Old Town spires and copper rooftops.
This guide to Monteliusvagen in Stockholm follows the twenty-year fight over a footpath scarcely four hundred meters long, from its 1977 approval through a furious campaign by film director Ingemar Unge to keep the hillside off-limits to strangers. You'll hear about the residents who had treated the land as their own gardens, the redesign that finally won approval, and the archaeologist the path was eventually named for. It ends by asking you to stand where Unge once stood guard over the view he tried to keep to himself.
