Mariestad Guest Harbor

Highlight • Structure

Nice harbor along the edge of the lake with great food, drink, and ice cream options. I suggest ordering a generous scoop of your favorite ice cream and enjoying it in the sunshine.

The railway bridge in Lyrestad is a swing bridge that dates back to 1908. It is operated on site by the bridge keeper, who also ensures that train traffic is blocked with platform barriers and everything else.
