Sävsjön Dam and Waterfall

Highlight • Waterfall

The dam offers a nice vantage point. You can take a look at the small waterfall on the back, but it is rather unspectacular

Älgstigen and Myrstigen Trail Signpost

Highlight • Trail

Moose often leave their droppings in the 'älgstig', and their hidden resting places can also be spotted in the taller grass. If you walk quietly, it’s quite possible to spot moose in the clearings.

A beautiful loop around Lake Sävsjön. One part along the shore, then another through the forest with pretty moss-covered rocks.
The highlight here is definitely the self-service ferry. We were lucky, because it was on our side. On the other shore, there was another nice rest and barbecue area, although it looked a bit run down.
After that, it wasn't …

A beautiful tour😃 I really enjoyed it. It was something special with the raft crossing from the lake... a blast😃👍🏽😃 You should definitely take gloves with you though, as there aren't any there and it doesn't feel so nice on your hands, but it's worth it. 😊
