1. Bäviksbryggan. Here the legendary Johan Rystedt
was foreman. He has been father-in-law for the equal legendary boss of
the Polar music company. The steamboat Selma Lagerlöf used to land
on this bridge on its passanger tours till it was broken up in the beginning
of the 1960ties. Now the saved and fully restored steamboat Freja lands
on the stage again. After a while the way from the stage connects to the
