It is always nice to "dig where you stand" and by this meaning to search for information about the place where you are. In our case there is a double meaning. We have built a layout showing places from somewhere in the mining districts (either the county of Uppland or the county of Västmanland - choose yourself). At the same time we obviously are located in Stockholm.
Why not take the chance to learn a little more about the city on your walk to the club? The
official visitor's guide of Stockholm has a comprehensive web site with lots of information and web links.
You will find several interesting walks to SMJ.
| Starting at | Walk description |
| Medborgarplatsen |
- Go straight over the market square and continue down the stairs between Söderhallarna and Söders Torn (the tower).
On your right-hand side you will find a restaurant (Restaurant Tegelhuset) in a small red brick building. At the beginning of the railway era this building was the terminal station of the Southern main line.
- Cross diagonally to the left pass through the Bofills Arch.
- Continue along the green walk Södermalsallén until you reach Rosenlundsgatan (a bridge up in the air).
- Walk up the stairs on the left-hand side and cross the street to reach no 54.

| Slussen |
- Go up the steep street called Götgatan and urn to the right when you reach S:t Paulsgatan (about halfway up the hill).
- Follow that street and pass Mariatorget (a small green square).
On your way you pass Van der Noot's palace. A small (originally private) palace from the seventeenth century.
- Turn left at when you reach Timmermansgatan and continue along that street.
You will soon come to an area of modern apartment blocks. This was earlier the railway yard of Stockholm's South Station.
- Turn right at the end of the street and pass through the apartment blocks until you reach Rosenlundsgatan.
