Easy hikes and walks around Nynäs

A “No Camping” sign has now been put up on the beach.

This is a well equiped rest stop at lake Gisesjön, right by a parking spot. There is a shelter with an fireplace that has a chimney and is covered by the shelter roof, and there is firewood stored just outside the shelter. In front of the shelter are picnic tables. Behind the shelter, just up a small hill, is a handicap parking spot, a large outhouse, and some trash cans. Further up the hill is the normal parking spot as well as a lookout spot. Note that this is still part of the Nynäs nature reserve and that it is not permitted to camp here.

The shelter at lake Björken is located at a lovely spot. The shelter itself is located at a shaded spot facing away from the water, but just north of the shelter is a small rocky headland with a nice fireplace and with a gorgeous view of the water. On the other side of the lake is a farm house with some horses grazing near the water. Other than that the lake seems to be surrounded by uninterrupted nature. In front of the shelter is another fireplace, and there is a supply of firewood as well as a cleaver to split the wood. There is a small outhouse near the shelter as well. The lake water is exceptionally clear looking, and it may be the clearest lake water I've seen in ages.

Sandvik offers a proper camping area, but you need to pay in order to stay here. The reception is only manned 30 minutes in the mornings on weekends. All other times it is self-serviced. It costs 100 SEK or 10 EURO per night, and you can either pay cash in a small post box or via the Swedish Swish app. At the camping there are hot showers and toilets with running water. There is a small playground as well. The main area closest to the road seems to be for RVs, but further back by the playground is an open grass area that is likely intended for tents. There is a recycling center just across the street from the camping. From the camping area there is a trail that connects directly to the beach.

Here is the Brevik parking with a large grass area where you are allowed to camp. There is an outhouse as well as access to drinking water, a fireplace with firewood and some picnic tables. The parking spot is also a prime location for RVs and campervans, so you should expect there to be activity in the evenings, at least during high season. Just opposite the road is a shallow pond. A few hundred meters along the road is Nyviks Brygga with a small beach and additional fireplaces.

Historic mill by a small lake. There is a parking spot right in front and a picnic table upstairs by the lake. From here you can hike upstream, following the path that the mill workers would walk every day to adjust the flow of water to the mill. The building itself is also very interesting!

Nicely located shelter! It is basically in the middle of a large animal grazing area, but the shelter itself is fenced off so the animals can't get there. The area is very large however, so you may not see or encounter them at all. There is a fireplace with provided firewood, and there is a small outhouse behind the shelter. From the shelter you have a nice view of the bay and the water, and if you venture out to the outermost part of the headland the view is even nicer.
