A peaceful lake surrounded by forest, Finnsjön is the central highlight of this route. Several access points lead down to the water, where you can take a swim, relax on the rocks or stop at simple picnic spots. The area is well maintained and popular with locals, but still feels quiet—especially in the early morning or evening.

Outhouse with a portable toilet interior. A great solution for an emergency, since there is no sewage disposal in the nature reserve.

There's a restroom behind the hut. You can use the stove and the fire pit. It's the perfect place for a longer rest, perhaps even for an overnight stay during a long hike.
