A beautiful place to spend the night. Next to the houses, there are two covered benches and two areas where small tents can be pitched. Difficult to reach by gravel bike, but doable.

Sweet little shelter at the Grinnsjön in the middle of the Halleberg nature park. the last ten minutes you cannot ride but push your bike to the shelter. the main gravel road is easy to ride with your bike. it is better to get here from the south.there is one really damn steep hill but after that it is easy. nevertheless it is more for hiking, even we also saw mountain bikers here. but the signs say cycling forbidden beside the main path. there is no toilette as usual for the most shelter spots, but you have fire places, wood in the back of the shelter(you need a axe to split it), a tricky bathing spot.water is clean but I think not drinkable due to the iron content if the sediment I suppose.

Beautiful spot for a break, picknick or sleeping. The shelter is rather small so maybe max 3-4 ppl.
