Here you will be spoiled with delicious cakes and tarts. Each guest then personally separates their leftovers into crockery, cutlery, food leftovers, plastic and paper. This also raises awareness of the careful use of our resources. After the fika you can stroll towards the old town and cross the fantastic Kungsparken (King's Park) with an interesting tree planting.
