These are the foundations of the medieval Gladö water mill, first mentioned in 1331. Once used as both a sawmill and a mill for grinding grain, it was dismantled in the 1940s and later destroyed by fire in the 1970s. The nearby town takes its name from this historic mill.

Fireplace with tables, garbage cans and free firewood. Surrounded by pretty dense forest, so it can be a bit dark and will not get much sun. Easy gravel road/path leads all the way here from the forest entrance.
