This is a great location. You have a nice view to look out over the lake, and there is even a little pier here if you want to dangle your feet in the water.

This is a lovely spot to look out over Fangen Lake. This is a small peaceful beach, and there is even a convenient little wooden bench here. It is very private, and the views out over the water, surrounded by the forest, are ever so tranquil.

Sandsjön is a beautiful lake. Even tho it was raining on me it was a sight to behold. With several good spots for camping with both tent and a campervan. I passed several tourists camping on my way through.

Good spot for a break. It’s along a running trail. So even if you can camp there, you will have a lot of people running through camp. Good access to water, 2 benches close to the lake.
