Beautiful place by the lake. They have toilets and activities to play with. Difficult to access by bus, I would go more often if they had a closer bus stop.

Mycket trevlig sammankomst, öppen för alla. Men 65 kr för en våffla och en kopp kaffe är för mycket vid denna typ av arrangemang. 40 hade varit rimligt.

Un lugar acogedor atendido por dos geniales voluntarios. Hay mucho qué disfrutar, como alquilar canoas, minigolf, cine para niños, parque infantil, bosques, playas y un ambiente espectacular para disfrutar de la tranquilidad sueca en un sólo sitio. Traigan su cariño
