A small supermarket located directly in Daftö Resort. Of course, the prices here are a bit higher than in a regular supermarket, but still fair for a supermarket in a resort area. You can definitely stop here for an ice cream, a drink, or a snack from the baked goods section. Opening Hours: May 28 – August 24 Mon. – Sun. 8:00 AM - 9:00 PM August 25 – August 28 Mon. – Thurs. 8:00 AM - 8:00 PM August 29 – September 30 Mon. – Thurs. 8:00 AM - 6:00 PM Fri. – Sat. 8:00 AM - 9:00 PM Sun. 8:00 AM - 6:00 PM

A beautiful rest area. Words can't describe how beautiful it is; just go there yourself. Just above the playground, you enter between the permanent campsites. After 40-50 meters, you reach the rest area. The view is simply outstanding.

The promenade is closed to cyclists. It's part of the long-distance hiking trail. Information boards are posted along the side, but unfortunately, they're only in Swedish 😅

A gravel path leads uphill from the bike path. Once the rocks begin, follow the red or blue trail markers. The red trail ends again at another corner in Daftö Resort.

Nice gesture. The repair stations are located along the many cycling routes in Sweden.
