The Coastal Path and the Houses from "Delicato

The boundary sign between Snättringe and Segeltorp remains out on Häradsvägen, but Långsjörundan follows Tranvägen towards Segeltorp and turns right onto the beach at the short Doppingvägen. 

Baker/Pastry chef Einar Belvén started the company Delicato in 1948. It gradually became "Nordic's largest manufacturer of confectionery products." In 1992 and 1999, he had two apartment buildings constructed by Långsjön, where he intended for his staff to live in the old days. They are now owned by Rikshem AB and have become a public senior housing facility, 55+, and the buildings are called Långsjöbo and Annexet.


Långsjöbo has a coastal road outside the windows and out on a small point with benches, several different types of deciduous trees have been planted, including a pecan tree. It is a tree that has its seeds hanging on long threads, which remain long after the seeds have fallen. It is a grandchild of the "Lily of the Valley King" at Långsjö, who looks after the garden.

Annexet has a console bridge along the cliff, and at both the beginning and the end of the bridge stands a sign with a mother and a child. It is meant to be understood that one should not cycle right there.

In the bridge, there are two holes for trees that have been left in place, and up on the cliff stands the only statue of Långsjörundan. It is a boy standing and holding up a broken shoe, where the water flows out. The water is pumped up from Långsjön and flows back again. During the winter, the water is turned off. The sculptor was one of the employees at the Haga-choklad company. It was a company that specialized in making figures out of chocolate and had a close cooperation with Delicato.

Turn right at Sjöstigen. The old farm Kråkvik has been assigned a street address, Sjöstigen 35. The main building has lap siding on the outer walls of the upper floor. (There is also one at Häradsvägen. The two houses were once owned by the same person).
