A small but beautiful lake hidden deep in the Knipeflågsbergen Nature Reserve. Blacktjkärn is said to be guarded by seven invisible creatures. Take a break by the edge of the lake, or take a dip in its mysterious dark waters. Knipeflågsbergen is a vast bedrock plateau. The biodiversity here is exceptional, and you may spot moose and deer, as well as hares, foxes and badgers.

This bathing spot is quite busy in good weather. A walk around the lake is worthwhile, and ideally you'll be rewarded with a cove where you'll be alone, or at least almost alone.

A very nice swimming spot for all ages. There are large lawns, several seating areas, and a few barbecue areas. Towards the parking lot, there's a truck where you can buy hot dogs and sandwiches and rent SUPs. A few portable toilets are also available. At the swimming area, the non-swimmer area is separated from the rest of the lake by a wooden walkway. There's a ramp so that people with disabilities can also swim. A truly beautiful swimming spot that has been thought of for everyone.

The floating bridge spans the Stora Delsjön Lake, connecting Bratteklev’s headland and the Gundla marsh. It's made up of eleven interconnected pontoons, and anchored by heavy chains and precast concrete anchors. A bathing jetty complete with a ladder sits halfway along the bridge.

Go for a swim or just a barbecue. Bring wood or coal and what you want to put on the grill - they are standing in a couple of places around the lake.
