Vindskydd (weather shelter) with 4-5 beds on the edge of the Stora Röå nature reserve, directly on the E1 (European long-distance hiking trail 1). Barbecue fireplace in front, outhouse a little below. Close by is a nice place to sit (bench) by the lake. You can also get water here (better to boil it). Unfortunately, you can hear the traffic quite loudly.

Small cozy café with lots of seats in the garden. The blueberry cake with cream is particularly delicious.

A relatively new barbecue area close to the parking lot. However, I find it questionable that he is in the forest and the risk of a forest fire is already given by flying sparks! 🤔
