Great spot. Please note that the shelter is used for birdwatching. It is not permitted to stay overnight.

Shelter with stock of wood. Actually too close to the village, the surroundings seem a bit neglected, but the view of the sea is great.

In the description of the official map to the wind shelters (vindskydds) there are both the classic open shelter and a hut. However, the hut is an old, dark hay shed, which is not very inviting to stay overnight and it lacks some sleeping platforms. The two wind shelters are however in good condition with one firepit each. There are more firepits on the spacious meadow where you can pitch your tent. At a well behind the hut you will find a pump with drinking water. In case it doesn't work, there is a small stream nearby. You will also find a pit toilet at the meadow.
