Located directly on the circular hiking trail around Uspen lake and the gravel bike route, this is a great place to take a short break. In good weather, you can sit on the stools outside; in bad weather, you can use the shelter.

Nääs became known worldwide in the 19th century for its arts and crafts school. The castle dates back to the 17th century and now houses a museum. The grounds also include a café, a craft shop, a riding school, and several other historical buildings.

Beautiful section of the Gotaleden between Floda and Tollered. The wooden boardwalks leading through the lush green forest seem a world away from the open lakeside scenery just a few hundred metres away.

Cross the bridge here to discover the beautiful Nääs Castle, nestled into the headland over the lake. The building dates from the 17th century, and the interior has been preserved since the death of the last owner in 1898. You can visit the castle as part of a guided tour.

The town was originally built around Nääs Fabriker, a cotton, wool, and weaving factory established in 1833. The factory closed in 1982, but the town remains one of Sweden's best-preserved industrial settlements.

If you want a quick coffee, cake or sandwich, this cosy little gift shop/art gallery/café is pretty nice. Seating available both in and outside, and there are a few flag poles, etc. if you want to lock your bike up whilst you rest.

BE WARNED! This and the roads leading to this are DEFINITELY gravel routes, not to be tackled with a road specific bike. Gravel bikes, cross country mountain bikes, etc. are completely at home here.

A few museum type shops and a café/restaurant for both Fika and full meals. There is a small shelter to store bikes too, though locking places are limited in the shelter. Other spaces are available around.
