The castle on the headland in Lake Märlaren has a lot of history to offer. The very well-kept grounds and the building now serve as a conference venue for events.

What an interesting place. Who engraved this image into the hard rock with which tools 1000 years ago? An entire legend carved in stone. The Sigurd legend. The nature reserve is also a real hiking highlight.
