Granholmtippen is a legendary site made up mainly of excavated material from the construction of the subway's blue line and the surrounding districts of Tensta, Rinkeby, Kista, Husby and Akalla. Granholmstippen also consists of other waste. Nothing is documented, but according to truck drivers and excavators who built the hill starting in the mid 60’s, everything was tipped there. This mythical place was a given favorite for children who grew up around Järvafältet.
The route starts at Grönlandsparken, at the corner of Kistagången/Grönlandsgatan
Cross Kistagången and follow Grönlandsgången straight forward until you reach Borgarfjordsgatan. Cross the street and follow Kista Alleväg up for about 500 meters. Take left and then cross the bridge Oddebron. Take left after the bridge and follow Rogalandsgången and then Järva cykelled. Take right on Husbystigen and after about 800 meters you will reach the ”electric light” exercise track - Granholmsspåret.
Round the 3,1 km long track. Just follow the exercise track to find the way around.
When you finished the track Granholmsspåret take the same way back through Husbystigen, Järva cykelled, Rogalandsgången, cross the bridge Oddebron, Kista Alleväg and Grönlandsgången.
