Tips from the Community
If you turn off the Sméleden and are willing to take a short detour to the nature reserve around Lake Jätturn, you come to a rest area with benches and a hut on the other side of the bank (where you probably don't want to spend the night). Apparently a popular destination for the Swedes on weekends, who come here with picnic baskets to grill around the fireplace. The special thing about the place: two rowing boats are moored on the bank, with which you can row to the small grotto opposite. The way to the rest area is narrow, stony and gnarled. I think it's worth the detour.
