Very nicely located shelter. Unfortunately a bit dirty due to inconsiderate users. We had to clean up first and take most of the leftovers with us the next day.

This is beautiful lake and a very peaceful spot. Stora Mettjärnen forms part of the drainage basin of the Gota River. It is surrounded by forest and by a number of other smaller lakes as well.

A good point overlooking the dark waters of Svartvattnet. From here, you get a beautiful panorama of the lake surrounded by forest. A peaceful spot to pause and take in the scenery before heading back down to the trail.
