Take a walk through Årtsa Field and learn aboutGöta Landsväg, one of Sweden's oldest roads, which dates back to the Bronze Age, or possibly even earlier. This audio tour will be your guide. It contains stories about the natural and cultural history of this place in Stockholm, told by a collection of voices, mixed with sound samples recorded on site, and accompanied by music from across genres. Walking directions and verbal queues are also provided to the listener; these are set to the pace of a slow stroll. This audio would be best if experienced on site, in the darkness of a winter night, but you can listen from anywhere, at any time of day or year.My hope is that this tour will help make you more aware of the plants and animals at Årsta Field, and inform you about the cultural importance of Göta Landsväg.
