From this hillside you look straight out over a green, old forest. The colours shift gently across the trees, with a few rocky sections and open patches in between. A simple, quiet spot with a surprisingly wide view.

Wooden shelter and picnic area — a forest stop with benches, a fire pit and a roofed shelter. A good place to pause, warm up, enjoy a snack or take a moment before continuing through the woods.

This spot offers a clear view over Söderbysjön, a long, narrow freshwater lake in the Nacka Nature Reserve. It’s popular for swimming and recreation and a perfect spot for a lunchbreak.

Fresh water from the lake, coming out of pipes. There is a cup for drinking. I saw people coming with huge containers to fill. I still filtered the water before drinking, just to be on the safe side.
