A beautiful lake

The Café Korsäng building looks a bit unassuming from the outside, but the seating inside is very cozy, and they serve delicious cakes, coffee, and small savory snacks. Right on the side of the trail, a rare find on the West Coast Cycle Route. Next door is a small supermarket where you can stock up on essentials for the rest of your journey.

There are several small secluded places for bathing here, which are slightly separated from each other. Good for a rest. Camping is not allowed here.
