It was a wonderful hike through a beautiful old beech forest. This forest is part of the largest contiguous mixed deciduous forest in Sweden, practically the Swedish equivalent of the Hainich National Park in Germany. How lovely! I heard many nuthatches, but unfortunately didn't see any dippers. The Naturum information center is charmingly designed. You can get tips on hiking trails, lots of information about beech trees and their inhabitants, and there are free restrooms and a café. It's definitely worth a visit.

From this side of the river, this was the most stunning spot we could find. Highly recommended and very "theatrical" looking with the almost bridge to the sky. Highly recommended, even this time of the year.

At the beginning of the lake there is a nice bench under a few trees. The ideal place for a lunch break.
