The Långsjöns nature reserve is a classic example of what Stockholm's Sprickdalslandskap, the region's typical fault landscape, still makes possible, even within the city. A quiet lake, surrounded by rocks and old oaks, just a few minutes from the nearest stop. Those who wish can jump directly into the water from the small sandy beach or from the cliffs. In the summer, there is a toilet at Ekängens badplats. The reserve is very popular and consequently well-visited, especially on warm weekdays. Those seeking some peace and quiet should come early in the morning.

The areas near the water tend to get quite busy, but as you follow the trail deeper into the woods, the crowds thin out and the scenery becomes even more beautiful. 🌳🦌
