6. MARKLANDSGATAN.

Take tram no. 3 (towards Marklandsgatan). Go 5 stops

to Jrntorget. Go towards the harbour (follow the signs)
where you will find the Rosenlund ferry stop.

Take a while to stroll around the cultural reserve. Youll

find the ruins of the old lvsborg Fortress behind the hotel. The areas heyday was the 18th century, when the East
India Company had a warehouse and loading quay here.
Several buildings remain, including the Ankarsmedjan
anchor smiths. In the late 1700s a glassworks and sugar
mill were built, which later became part of the Carnegie
brewery. The area became a separate little community
with a church, school, housing and hospital, etc.
These days the brewery is a hotel. In the park, follow the
path under the main road up towards lvsborgsgatan to
the tram stop called:

and change to tram no. 2 (Kroksltt). Youll go past

Slottsskogsvallen, where Gunder Hgg and Arne Andersson fought many duels and where todays athletes now
meet annually. A bit further on are the Botanical Gardens

The East Indiaman Gtheborg III, a replica of an 18th
century ship, was built here at the shipyard Terra Nova.

China, in the summer of 2007. Today the Eriksberg area,
one of the former biggest shipyards in Gteborg, contains housing, hotels, concert and exhibition halls and
