In the middle of the Glaskogen nature reserve (Der Gla Wald) lies Lenungshammar with its simple but beautiful campsite between the upper Glasee and the large Glasee. The reserve can be explored individually with the canoes of the canoe headquarters or on the beautiful, secluded hiking trails totaling 300 km in length. The campsite is the only place where you can get provisions there. And just a few hundred meters south of it is Café Carl, a modern but stylish log cabin that replaces the historic building that burned down a few years ago. The café is the only restaurant in Glaskogen. There are small but very tasty dishes prepared with love. I especially like the waffles with vanilla ice cream and jam. In addition to Blåbär (blueberry), Jordgub (strawberry) and Hallon (raspberry), the creamy-tasting, golden-yellow Hjortronsylt (multberry jam) is also offered. I love her! 😋
