Located directly on the circular hiking trail around Uspen lake and the gravel bike route, this is a great place to take a short break. In good weather, you can sit on the stools outside; in bad weather, you can use the shelter.

Beautiful spot for a break. Take the time to admire the view over Lake Bäsjön, have a barbecue, or even go for a swim.

There is a trash can next to the shelter and fire pit. There is a toilet a little further away. Good access to the lake, limited camping possible.

Nice hut with a fireplace right on the rocks by the lake. Super clear water. There is enough space for two to put the bikes under the roof. It would still be nice if the butt stubs weren't disposed of in nature or in the rocks!

in the middle of the village on a piece of lawn is this small hut, which is NOT intended to stay. In the sun you can doze well on the lawn. The benches are clean. Nice place
