Lakeside Shelter and Fire Pit

Highlight • Mountain Hut

A simple shelter set right by the water, equipped with a fire pit and basic seating. It’s a good spot to take a break, for fishing, to have a snack or warm up, especially on longer hikes along the Bohusleden.

The shelter is located on a small hill and is well maintained and spacious. Camping is possible a little further away, but you have to search a little to find a suitable spot.

A super protective cover to rest or even to set up camp for a night I had a great sleep there! And there is also direct access to the lake. Just gorgeous there!
