Very nice spot for a BBQ or a nice place for a family picnic. There is also a little bistro for a coffee and a snack.

Nature reserve with a recreation area popular among MTB riders, but also lots of other activities and amenities. There is a camping ground, and Sörmlandsleden etapp 6 ends here. The service building "Naturport" (open 10-17) offers a small indoor pentry with sink, water kettle and microwave ovens. By the gym there is an external drinking water tap and a toilet. There are many fireplaces around the recreation area, and firewood is offered for 35 SEK.

Wonderful area but can be crowded during weekends. This place is good for gravel and mountain biking and tour cycling. During winter you can also go skating on the lake.
