Close surroundings

You can hike directly from the campsite where you can walk up Stakberg on an old gravel path or just wander through the forest. Maybe you will see some animal trails or even the animals themselves during your walk.

Do keep in mind that these are not official hiking paths, so a compass can be useful. 


You can also go on a tour with your mountainbike around the campsite and along the lake Gröcken. This is not a offical mountainbike tour, but we have made a map you can use.

When you drive 1,5 km to the south from the campsite you will come across the lake Grängen. Here you will also find a picknick and bbq spot and this lake is also used a lot for fishing. The water here is deeper and it has a boat entry. 


One of our neighbours is a knife maker. His workshop, where he crafts the knives all by hand and sells them, is just over half a km from our campsite. Keep in mind that you can not pay by card.
