This issue really concerns the entire ring of zones around Frösundavik manor (Frösundavik herrgård), but I figure that this zone is the one that is most relevant for the report due to its location. The issue, as I see it, is that while there is a historical-cultural area with some spectacular visuals surrounding the Frösundavik manor, the placements of all surrounding zones lead turfers to go around the area on the outside and completely miss the amazing views. Especially the view of Kasernen from the road in front of the Frösundavik manor. I would have made a new zone suggestion if it was possible, but the location falls within the radius of the zone "Frösundavik" (and there is also a shortcut almost straight to that location which means the zone distance radius is a fair representation of the actual travel distance). My suggestion is that one of the more mundane surrounding zones could be moved to the front of Frösundavik manor, where the visiting player would at once get a view of not just the manor, but also of the mighty Kasernen and the not-too-shabby Mässen, and where the turfers would naturally pass by several of the other nice buildings on their way to and from the zone. The "Frösundavik" zone would be my main suggestion for this purpose, because 1) the manor zone location is within the distance radius of this zone and it is also the closest one, 2) the current location of this zone does not have a very great view of the water anyway, due to the foliage of the trees, and 3) the zone already has a perfect name - "Frösundavik" is a perfect match for the Frösundavik manor. As a bonus, this move would also make it feasible to move the SolnaTrail zone westward to a more special location, a large rock with a small stairway built onto it. That special rock is currently unfortunately easy to miss as it is obscured by a few trees. (This would also help make the distances between the waterside zones more even, post-relocation.) With that suggestion being made, I want to reiterate that the issue I hope to see resolved is the lack of a zone within the old manor/military area, and I would be happy with any solution that accomplishes that improvement. Perhaps another nearby zone could be repurposed, or perhaps Hagastigen and Frösundavik could both be shifted northwest so that the Frösundavik manor falls outside of the Frösundavik zone's distance radius, or perhaps an exception could be made for the usual zone placement rules as the front of the Frösundavik manor is only just within the zone distance radius of Frösundavik. Anything that solves the issue of this currently wasted great zone potential. I will attach a picture that should help visualise the locations of the places described above. I enthusiastically encourage using Street View, or some other means, to see what they look like and what kind of visual and explorative experience they could contribute to Turf.
