About this tour
This early session climbs Sunnerstahöjden, a hillside reserve on the city's edge, ending at a clearing with a view south over open farmland. You see woodland most visitors never reach. I point out details from years of running this same trail.
We keep a steady pace up the slope, pausing wherever the birdlife or the view is worth a moment. I take questions along the way rather than at fixed points. The call ends at the clearing with time to just look before we finish.
This suits early risers who want a quieter side of Uppsala away from the university buildings. It also works for anyone who prefers nature to architecture.
Included
- Live video walk with a local guide
- Questions to your guide all the way
- A short list of places to visit later
Not included

Itinerary
-
Welcome and sound check 5 min
The guide joins the video call, checks the picture and sound with you, and gives you a quick sense of Uppsala before heading out.
-
The lower trail 15 min
You see the path climbing through mixed woodland on the edge of the city. I point out the birdlife most active at this hour, based on what I hear most mornings running here myself.
-
The viewpoint 15 min
The camera reaches a clearing looking south over the plain beyond the city. I explain how this land was used for grazing long before Uppsala grew this far south.
-
Your questions 7 min
Time to ask anything about Uppsala: prices, safety, food, or whatever you are curious about.
-
A short list to keep 3 min
Before you go, the guide sums up with a few things worth remembering: a dish to try: Cinnamon buns (kanelbullar) and Luthagen, worth a slower look.
Good to know
- A stable wifi or mobile connection makes the picture smoother than a shaky one.
- Any phone, tablet or laptop with a camera works. You watch, the guide does the walking.
- Times are shown in Stockholm time, so check the time where you are before you book.
- The session is not recorded, and recording it yourself is not allowed. Feel free to take your own notes.
- Ask questions any time, out loud or in the chat. The guide will pause to answer.
- Sessions run in small groups, up to 10 people, so there is room for everyone to ask something.
