Bruksdammen Lake and Picnic Area

Highlight • Lake

Lovely lake with several shelters, fireplaces and picnic tables. There is also a handicap outhouse as well as a supposedly wheelchair accessible path leading to the shelter area. Highly recommended, but also close to Hälleforsnäs town and can be busy at times.

Lakeside Shelter at Lake Nävsjön

Highlight • Mountain Hut

Nice shelter by the lake! The shelter is well equiped with a saw, an axe, buckets as well as a picnic table. There is a fireplace right in front of the shelter as well as a separate firepit down by the water.

There is a small outhouse behind the shelter and another one located a few hundred meters north along the trail, when crossing the small gravel road.

There is a small swimming spot along the shore just south of the shelter.

Sandviken shelter

Highlight • Mountain Hut

There is a nice shelter here with a great view of lake Näshultasjön. It is equiped with a fireplace and several picnic tables. There is also a couple of privys/outhouses along the path just east of the shelter. The area surrounding the shelter is a large and flat grass area that seems to be well maintained. It also looks like a great place for a swim. The shelter is close to a small road, so you may hear occasional traffic It is also easily visited by anyone looking to have a barbeque or a swim.

Shelter at lake Hedsjön

Highlight • Mountain Hut

Along the side of lake Hedsjön there is a nice windshelter right next to the trail, overlooking the lake. It gets really nice afternoon and evening sun and is equiped with a fireplace, bucket, picnic table and several benches. Hidden just next to the shelter is a small jetty into the water. There are also two privys/outhouses just north of the shelter. Further north of the shelter, just across the gravel road, is a water source, but when I was there the lake water looked cleaner than the water source.

Behind the shelter is very hilly, so other than on the trail itself there isn't much space for tents.

Good place to stay overnight. Shelter, a good place for a tent if the shelter is fully occupied (the popular hike trail Sörmlandsleden passes here), a privy and a possibility to take a bath in the lake. And some hundred meters away a well with fresh water. Beautiful surroundings in the Henaredalens nature reserv.

July 24, 2025, Bruksdammen Lake and Picnic Area

A beautifully maintained walkway (Bruksdammen) with benches is available. The small island has two shelters with fire pits and even a wheelchair-accessible restroom.
