Popular with good weather to enjoy the sun and the view. The café can be quite crowded, so alternatively get a picknic and enjoy a rest among the locals on the grass.

At this beautiful spot by the water, in the former Kottlasjön Hydropower Plant, a bakery and café are now located. It’s the perfect place to relax after a walk, right by the lake, where fresh bread and pastries are baked daily. Vattenverket is open every day from 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM.
