Blackeberg metro station
Blackeberg metro station

Blackeberg metro station is a station on the Green line of the Stockholm metro. It is located in the district of Blackeberg, which is part of the borough of Bromma in the west of the city of Stockholm. The station has a single island platform, with access from a station building spanning the tracks. Two thirds of the platform is located outdoors and one third is located in a rock tunnel under Blackebergsplan. The distance to Slussen is 14.1 km (8.8 mi).The station was inaugurated on 26 October 1952 as a part of the section of line between Hötorget and Vällingby.The station building was designed by Peter Celsing, who was head of the architectural office of AB Stockholms Spårvägar, the city owned public transport company. The building stands on the northern side of Blackebergsplan and has entrances from the square and, at a lower level, Vinjegatan. The ticket hall floor is at the Vinjegaten level, and a monumental double staircase leads down from the Blackebergsplan entry. The hall has a square floor plan with 22 metres (72 ft) sides, and its roof is a flat, free-span dome of reinforced concrete, with an untreated surface. The building is blue-rated by the Stockholm City Museum, which means "that the buildings are judged to have extremely high cultural-historical values".The tunnel section of the station is decorated with green, blue and yellow tiles. As part of Art in the Stockholm metro project, the station received naturalistic paintings on glazed clinker by Ruben Heleander in 1987.

Kanaanbadet
Kanaanbadet

Kanaanbadet (Kanaan beach), is a public beach by the lake Mälaren (a lake located outside Stockholm, Sweden). The beach is not far west of Blackeberg in the Hässelby-Vällingby area and is a part of the Grimsta nature reserve. The biblical name Kanaan was used for the first time in around 1730 and comes from an old croft that was built on the beach. By the end of the 18th century, a bigger house was built and it was later transformed into a tavern. The old tavern was torn down in 1881 and "the king of Swedish snuff" Knut Ljunglöf built a house & since 1952 it has been known as the Kanaan Cafe. Nowadays the beach is a popular place to go for people living west of Stockholm and it is often crowded on hot summer days. There is one cafeteria, a mini golf court and a small diving tower. Sweden's first youth center was opened here in 1933 and during World War II it was a standby station for officers. Kanaan swimming society was named after the beach when the club was founded in 1958. The club nowadays have their activities in different indoor pools around the west side. Stockholm's canoeing club Kanaanbadet has their club/boat house next to the beach. During the winter many upper secondary schools have their winter sports by and on the lake. Kannan's allotment gardens are located about 1km from the beach and consist of a field and 31 cottages surrounding it. This area was originally a camping area in the 1950s, but later became a permanent allotment with little space for gardening.
