#13 Christmas market Ekenas castle/ Julmarknad på Ekenäs

Ekenäs Slott is a genuine fairytale castle, dating back to the 17th century. We have visited the very popular Christmas market at the castle which happens every November. There is also a popular jousting tournament arranged every spring here. The castle is just 20 km southeast of Linköping. Second part of the film shows autumn in the city center park, called Tradgardsforeningen. We are picking Gingko Biloba leaves. Ginkgo is a very rare and unique temple tree with an ancient history. Already at the time of the dinosaurs there were several different ginkgo species, but the only living species among the ginkgo plants is the Ginkgo biloba tree. There is two of this trees in this park. At the end there is also some minutes showing Tinnero Oak Woodland. This is a very beautiful recreation area very close to the city center with a lot of birds and other wild life.
