Anyone who wants to can use the sauna here. They just have to heat the stove themselves beforehand. Wood is available. There is also a jetty to the water to cool off.

The pulpit offers a magnificent view of the surrounding landscape. The rock rises 400 meters above sea level and you can see far. The sunlit location means that many so-called "southern mountain plants" thrive here. Together with the adjacent reserve Tansvägga, this is a nice area for hiking and climbing.

This hut and two shelters are located near the Dragberget. The hut is solid, there is even an oven and storage facilities. At the weekend it will probably be used by bars and restaurants.
