City advice
Don't miss
Fishing
You can fish from our docks. There is plenty of fish in the lake and there is also crayfish to catch. You need a fishing license if you fish outside our own water, which is from the borders of our property to the middle of the lake.
Don't miss
The woods
You can walk into the woods just behind the house. You can find a lot of blueberries and lingonberries to pick. If you take a longer walk you can also find delicious mushrooms.
