  • It's not so impressive fort . It's just like the one in any other country . If you are bored n don't have anything to do in summer, it's good to visit for the view . Nice point for photographers. But really not worth coming all the way from stockholm central to visit this especially on winter time!!!
  • Great view!
  • Very good guide in the fortress and well-read.
