Fj\u00e4llnora Nature Reserve sits just north of Uppsala and is one of the area’s most popular spots for swimming, picnicking and relaxing by the water. You’ll find a proper beach with jetties, a diving platform on a raft, and plenty of space to spread a blanket and settle in \u2014 all without driving far from town.<\/p>\n
The reserve works for both quick visits and longer stays. In summer you can swim from the jetties or jump off the raft, rent a canoe or pedalo, or simply lie in the sun with a book. There’s a wood shed near the beach \u2014 perfect if you want to grill your picnic. Many visitors bring a charcuterie board, light a bonfire and watch the sunset over the water.<\/p>\n
If you want to stay longer, cottages are available to rent, and the reserve has a sauna too. When it freezes over, Vinterv\u00e4gen attracts long-distance skaters. Fishing enthusiasts will also find opportunities to fish in the bay on the west side.<\/p>\n
There’s a simple caf\u00e9 where you can buy coffee, ice cream and sandwiches \u2014 nothing fancy, but enough to fill your stomach. Open daily 10:00\u201320:00. Reviewers (averaging 4.5 stars from nearly 1,000 ratings) love above all the combination of proximity, water and the chance to both swim and grill on the same day.<\/p>\n
