Travel in Linnaeus’s footsteps in Uppland
Carl Linnaeus lived and worked in Uppsala, with all the woods and fields of the Uppland province as his place of study. Uppland is where he created his life’s work, making him one of Sweden’s most famous men.
The jubilee year of 2007 marks the start of Linnaeus-related walks and experiences in Uppland. The walks begin from some ten places known to have been visited by Linnaeus or his disciples.
