Seeing the previous photos, it seems that the place was renovated very recently (we went there in July 2024). Wonderful big windshelter, directly on the Sörmlandsleden. Very large barbecue area with large benches. The area around is wide and flat, perfect to pitch tents. There are also many blueberries during summer, a'd a lake nearby with planks to access the water.

Just a little bit off from the main trail you can find this nice view of the very northern bit of lake Yngern.

There is a small water well in the ground here. When I passed the water level was pretty low and the water looked to be mostly stagnant, but it might be ok if filtered first.

The bridge is small but strong. It takes you across this swamp very well.

The paths through this wood have a lot of moss. The wood didn’t look super green. Lots of dead tree and cut trees
