Nice camping spot with a splendid view over the lake Lockvattnet

The paths were very muddy after the rain and in some places we were knee-deep in water. Still, it's a nice round

The view from up here is amazing! The climb along the path from the south side is steep and somewhat challenging, but it's worth it!

There is a water source here, but the water level seemed too low. May be fine sometimes depending on the season, but does not seem super reliable.

There is a water source here that seems to be located at the bottom of a ditch. The water level of the ditch seemed to be higher than that of the water source itself and there was no flow of water.
