Meditationsplatsen Backåkra

The meditation spot is strategically located on a hill within the Backåkra estate, offering a broad view over the surrounding fields and the Baltic Sea. The scenic beauty and tranquil ambiance make this place ideal for meditation and quiet reflection. The area is designed simply and minimalistically, enhancing its calming effect. There is a circular arrangement of stones that is reminiscent of prehistoric monuments and symbolically represents the circle of life and nature. The simplicity of the furnishings invites you to enjoy the natural surroundings and inner peace.

The meditation spot reflects Hammarskjöld's deeply rooted spiritual beliefs and his commitment to peace and harmony. Hammarskjöld was known for his philosophical and spiritual reflections, which he recorded in his diary "Vägmärken" (English: "Waymarks"). The place serves as a physical manifestation of this introspection and search for meaning and truth.
