Unfortunately, there's no good place to camp there. The entire area is fenced with an electric fence and heavily polluted by cows.

With the M/S Kung Sverker, you can take a cruise on Lake Vättern or a day trip on the Göta Canal. For prices, departure times, and further information, I recommend the website: www.kungsverker.se
