Good cycle paths. Suitable for children. Better to bring food and drinks. Castle visit only possible from the outside.

The Drömling has something magical. It always draws me back there. Everything seems so decelerated. You notice that already when you talk to locals.

Very quiet ponds. Bench overlooking the New Pond. Ideal for a short rest.
