The approximately 300-meter-long bridge that leads from the mainland to the island of Marsholm. A proper bridge now only exists in the center. The rest has been replaced by an earthen embankment. In the parking lot directly behind the bridge, you'll find a stone plaque detailing the bridge's construction.

This is supposed to be the official canoe and kayak rest area for Marsholm. It should be, if three drunk Germans weren't turning the place into a second Ballermann. Among the cans, fishing rods, leftover food, and other trash, I could see the following: an information board, several seating areas, and a shelter. The most outrageous thing about it is that there's a "No Camping" sign at the entrance. However, this sign had been simply bent over, so the family tent also found space on the shore.

A really nice little beach with benches, a fire pit, and an information board. Unfortunately, my spot was completely taken over by canoeists, as the official rest area for canoeists in the north was occupied by German booze-hungry tourists. Annoying.

The old but beautifully preserved estate on Marsholm. The two information boards tell the history of the estate and the island. Highly recommended.

Nice bathing area with a sandy beach, water is quite shallow, so you have to go 10 m into the water to be able to swim.

There is a bench, a shelter and fire pits here. It's easy to get to the lake. Camping is prohibited here. But that shouldn't bother anyone in the fall.
