A friendly neighbor from the nearby settlement brought two deck chairs to the shelter. After a long day of hiking and lugging a backpack, it provided a relaxing and refreshing experience.

A very nice shelter. Above all, it's large and offers enough space for up to 12 people. About 400 meters away is a large box of firewood. Right next to the camp is a small, weatherproof shed where unused wood can be stored for the next group. A truly beautiful place.

Nice shelter along the Sörmlandsleden trail. The shelter is elevated on a small hillside. There is a fireplace and picnic table. Next to the shelter is also a small privy/outhouse. From the shelter you can just about make out the water through the trees, but it is surrounded by forest on all sides. On the back of the shelter is a downpipe that collects rainwater from the shelter roof, and there is a bucket for collecting water.

At lake Hovrasjön is a nice shelter elevated on a cliff just by the water with a great view of the entire lake. The shelter gets really nice morning sun, but is in shade most of the afternoon and evening. There is a picnic table and a fireplace in front of the shelter, and an outhouse behind the shelter. A little bit south of the shelter there is a nice flat grassy area suitable for setting up tents. You can find some spots next to the cliffs to swim in the lake, but the water is pretty murky. I did filter some water for drinking, but the murky water quickly clogged up the filter. If possible, get water at B&B Bergsstugan by the road on the opposite side of the lake instead.

There is a parking lot here with a couple of spots reserved for hikers. By the parking lot is also a fireplace and a privy/outhouse. Where the trail leaves the parking towards the lake is a preserved old charcoal burner's hut that can be used as a shelter to spend the night.
