Description

The picnic area by the red cottage Örstastugan is a great starting point for your visit in Angarnssjöängen. There is a picnic area by the permit parking lot for people with disabilities. There are picnic tables and a wheelchair-accessible toilet with running water behind the red building.

There is an ancient runestone on the slope facing the gravel road and an informational sign about the history of the area. People have lived here and farmed the land since the Bronze Age, almost 4 000 years ago.

Naturcentrum is currently closed to the public.
