Tips from the Community
The Tyresta By campsite is located right next to the historic village of Tyresta and thus directly at the entrance to Tyresta National Park. The simple, nature-oriented site is particularly suitable for hikers who want to stay close to the marked trails and start early into the National Park. Due to its location between old farm buildings, meadows and the extensive forests of Tyresta, the site conveys a very original sense of nature despite its proximity to infrastructure.

The accommodation is very close to the visitor center, hiking trails, and the old farm buildings, making it an excellent starting point for tours into the extensive forests of the national park. Due to its quiet location on the edge of the forest, the hostel combines simple accommodation with an immediate nature experience.

Small wooden bridges lead across marshes and small waterways along the shore. A beautiful path, which is a little more challenging due to its roots.

One of the nice paths of the Elljusspår Rudan. The full loop is 2.3 km, fully lit, and easy to follow, great for a short hike or a quick run.

After crossing the bridge, you enter a wonderful area rich in typical bird fauna. Watch out for the nutcracker :-)

I didn't camp here, so I cannot judge the place overnight. However, there is a water faucet and very clean toilets.
