Activities
Only a selection of what is available, feel free to tip, and I will add more activities!
Bad
Many lakes for both swimming and fishing in the area around the cottages. Two lakes are located 150-200 meters from the cottage, where you can both swim and fish.
If you want a sandy beach for sunbathing and swimming, I recommend the bathing place in Holsljunga, which is adjacent to a campsite, about 16 km from the cottage.
