Fiskartorpet
Fiskartorpet is a recreational area north of Stockholm, Sweden, in the Djurgården area. It features a small hotel, a conference center, and a number of restaurants. Sporting facilities include an ice hockey rink, a soccer field, and a K-47 ski jump. The owners advertise it as the "world's smallest ski resort".
It is one of the locations for Fredman's Epistles, a collection of songs by Sweden's bard, Carl Michael Bellman.
History
Charles XI of Sweden had a fishing cottage at Fiskartorpet during the 17th century, and the cottage still stands at its original location. It is the setting for one of Carl Michael Bellman's most famous songs, Fredman's Epistle No. 71, Ulla, min Ulla, säj, får jag dig bjuda, which is subtitled "Till Ulla i fönstret på Fiskartorpet middagstiden en sommardag. Pastoral dedicerad till Herr Assessor Lundström" (To Ulla in the window in Fiskartorpet at lunchtime one summer's day. Pastoral dedicated to Mr Assessor Lundström).[1]
The first ski jump at the site was built in the 1890s.
