NOTE! A salmon ladder will be built here in 2024, which means that the rest area cannot be used while the work is in progress. Read more.

Simple picnic area with tables.

Svartån flows north from northern Småland. The river flows through Lake Sommen and here at Laxberg there are regulation gaps for Sommen's water level. Svartån continues from here north through Boxholm, Strålsnäs, Mjölby and Sya to finally end in Roxen.

Isn't it cool that a big river flows towards the north! We often don't think about the fact that the highlands of Småland are so high that water from northern Småland must flow north instead of south.
