This is a good place to go for a short walk along Valloxen. Unfortunately, the lake is otherwise very poorly developed. But if you want to see a bit of water in Knivsta, this is a really good place to go!

Here is the Knivsta train station, the old station building is beautifully built and there is a small brewery in the old station building. But it may well be that it is no longer in operation haha

Here you will find the Lunsentorpet, there are 8 beds (but you should bring your own sleeping bag), a stove, a table with several chairs and many other useful things. It is definitely a good place to rest for a night!
