Ã…lkistan
Ålkistan (Swedish: "The Eel Hatch") is the name of a canal, and the surrounding area, north of Stockholm, Sweden. The canal connects Lilla Värtan to Lake Brunnsviken, and delimits Bergshamra, the northern part of Solna, from the northern part of Djurgården. The name ''Ålkistan'' first appears on a map of Djurgården dated 1649, pointing out ''Åhlekijstetorpet'' ("The Eel Hatch Cottage"), ''Åhlekijstebackan'' ("The Eel Hatch Hillside") and ''Åhlekijste wijken'' ("The Eel Hatch Bay"). In a rivulet leading to the bay eels were caught using cages (in Swedish called ''kista'', "coffin"), which gave the area its present name. The cottage is mentioned as a tavern in 1789. By the mid-19th century, mud threatened to cork the rivulet, which would effectively have turned Lake Brunnsviken, being used as refuse dump as it was, into a sewer. King Charles XV therefore ordered the present canal to be constructed in 1863, which lowered the water level of Brunnsviken by two metres. A woo ...
