with Ramsons and once a popular
fairground north of Anderslöv.
5 / 6 2010: I have many times driving past Grönalund and the
sign of 'Grönalunds tivoli' (Grönalund aumusement park) on
the road between Börringekloster and Anderslöv. I park at the
lay-by. A sign tells that this was Grönalund amusement park,
once a popular venue, with a stop at the railroad Börringe -
Östra Torp. Today this is a grove, where the Ramsons is in bloom
in abundance in the woods near the lay-by. The sign says that 200
meters
south is a sign showing the way to the place of the aumusement
park. I think I can get there via the path up the hill with the
Ramsons. Ramsons leaves are good to have in the salad. It is not a good
path, overgrown and wet. Along the trail Ramsons flowers. I continue up
the hill. I step deep in the mud, my feets get wet. A Herb-Robert and
Greater Stitchwort (I think it is)
looks surprised at me. Eventually the trail ends, wet and brush. Giving
up and turning.
Follow instead the instructions and the sign 'Gröna Lund amusement
park'. Much
better, good trail through spruce forest and up to a glade in a young
deciduous forest. It's like a lawn, it is freshly cut. On a sign says
'Grönalunds Tivoli 1905 - 1949'. 1930 the prime minister Per-Albin
Hansson was here and gave a speech . Photos show how it looked, nothing
is left today. A
bench invites you to rest and have lunch. Take the shoes off to
dry them and
stockings. Studying Ramsons flower in detail. At the path is a tree
trunk with
carvings, perhaps made of lovers at that time? If the tree is
so old? Time to continue to today's entertainment, football.
