Here you will find a well-preserved village store in an old school building, collections of stone axes, photos and more memorabilia. There is also an old sawmill with a steam engine and a small house from the 18th century. Open: Sundays in July and August.

The small windbreak hut is very low, so that one can only sleep crosswise in it. But the location is wonderful: directly at Lake Kinnen, above which the sun sets in the evening. When the weather is fine, it is perfect for a little swim. There is a fireplace and wood is available in the surrounding forest. The outhouse is less inviting, you prefer to go into the forest ;)

An interesting monument from ancient times is the cave in Flishult “Klostergrottan”. The cave is a natural formation in the rock and a large boulder was pushed out of a rock face, creating a large cavity with a protruding roof. The cave, which is thus completely open at the front, is about 6 meters wide and 3.5 meters deep and has a height of 2-3 meters. The pushed out boulder lies like a table in front of the opening. In the early 1930s, an archaeological investigation was carried out and several signs were found that the cave had been inhabited during the Neolithic period. The sparse finds consisted of arrowheads, splinters and fragments of flint, pieces of greenstone axes, pieces of bone and charcoal. It was assumed that the cave was hardly used as a dwelling for long periods of time, but rather as a place to stay overnight during hunting and fishing activities. https://www.naturkartan.se/de/kronobergs-lan/klostergrottan

Simple CP. Difficult for camping in high season. A wonderful place in autumn, but unfortunately without a service house.

Still a very nice spot. Unfortunately, the boards that were supposed to be the benches are missing (presumably they were promised at some point...) And there's a bit more trash lying around here than you'd expect in Sweden... But it's great for swimming, and if you sleep in a hammock, you'll be spoiled for choice as to where to hang it.
