This walking tour tells about 11 women who were an important part of history and who influenced the outcome of the Second World War in one way or another. Some of them are famous, but several the public has probably never heard of or heard a completely different story than what was actually the truth. Don't miss this unique walking tour that will ”blow your mind”... The walking tour is about 2.5 km long and ends at Engelbreksgatan NOTE! This walking tour can also be arranged as a lecture.

CITY WALK /SPY WALK- IN THE SHADOW OF THE COLD WAR

Take a walk through the old top secret military area in Ursvik, Sundbyberg and hear about what the various buildings and storerooms hid, what the “Russians” knew about the operation of the area and much more. Hear about Swedish nuclear weapons, radioactive pigs, the origin of the romance killer, and so much more about the area's unique, top-secret history. We will also tell you about methods, recruitment, Swedish nuclear bombs and nuclear submarines, about FOA's top secret research into nuclear weapons and biological and chemical weapons and about the “pig that escaped” that could have caused a disaster, about how Ursvik was at the center of the news without ever being mentioned on several occasions in the 80s and how close Karlskrona was close to being annihilated by a nuclear explosion, narrated by “someone who was there” as well as whether it was working as a “spy” during the Cold War and how Swedish spies worked abroad. If time does not run out, we also talk about how a Swedish operator works in the near future and what equipment Swedish “agents” use, it's probably not what you think.

CITY WALK/SPY WALK - WHAT HAPPENED CATS FALCK?

On November 18, 1984, journalist Cats Falck and her friend disappear without a trace after a visit to a restaurant. Join us on this unique tour that tells us about their bizarre spy story to say the least. Despite one of the most extensive search efforts in Swedish criminal history, the women remain engulfed by the earth. Only a little over 6 months later, on 29 May 1985, the women were found by military mine-divers from KA1 on another mission, in Lena Gräns upside-down car at the bottom of Norra Hammarby Harbour, strapped into the car's seat belts. What had happened? How did they get there? What was behind it? Google “Cats Falck” and thousands of posts, theories and claims come to light in the results, ranging from the official police accident theory to the East German STASI drowning them with “city water”. What is true, what is nonsense, what is misdirection and what is “fake news”? After over seven years of research and access to unique sources and archives that no one else had access to, we can uncover the truth about their disappearance in a dangerous Cold War Stockholm where spies, double agents and assassins were rampant. A Sweden and Stockholm where a young Swedish journalist had to pay the ultimate price when her journalistic work threatened powerful interests. In connection with the hike, we will also touch on the strange “suicide” of Inspector of Weapons Carl-Fredrik Algernon on January 15, 1987, when these cases are linked. GROUP DISCOUNT!

About Swedish Spy Museum

Swedish Spy Museum Project is a voluntary driven project to create a museum of intelligence history in Sweden, a "Swedish Spy Museum".

Our skilled guides take you through stories of spies, agents, and secret and covert activities in Sweden throughout history, where we put these in their historical context.

Until our project with a physical museum can be realized, we organize lectures and during the summer months, various “Spy” Walking tours.

Our spy tours are walks in areas of intelligence historical interest, currently only within Stockholm County, but other tours may come later.

The walks vary in length but usually last between 2½ to 3½ hours depending on the extent of the hike and the guest's involvement. For more specific information, click the book button under our respective events.

Of course, both customized walks and lectures are offered. For more information, please contact Johan by email: johan@swedishspymuseum.se or by phone: 073-730 94 99
