Excursions
Tresticklan National Park
​15 km from the campsite is Tresticklans national park, the largest roadless and undeveloped land in southern Sweden. From the air, the area resembles a washboard. The nature is characterized by narrow and high mountain ridges that stretch in a north-south direction. Between them lie marshlands and long, narrow lakes. The sparse and barren pine forest with lichen- and moss-covered rock outcrops, together with the large number of lakes form a peaceful environment where you can hike for several days.
Torrskog trail
Torrskogsleden is a 25 km long hiking trail that runs through varied nature, the trail starts and ends at Torrskogsbygdegård. Along the trail there are wind shelters, lookout towers, cabins and barbecue areas.
In the north-western part of the municipality, the Torrskogsleden can take you along old paths and roads through Skogsdal's wildest ravines, through the pillared halls of the old forest. At Ramsbytjärnet, you pass beautiful meadows and pastures and cultural fields.
Two days are recommended if you want to go the whole way round. It is possible to shorten the hike to one day and even shorter trips.

Båstnäs car graveyard
​Båstnäs is truly a different attraction, Northern Europe's only scrapyard of its kind. If you travel from Töcksfors via Västra Fågelvik for about 25 kilometers on winding dirt roads, you will come to a sign that says Here the public road ends, then you will find yourself in Båstnäs and the car cemetery, and even then life feels a little surreal.
The car cemetery is a monument to a time that has passed. Now the cars in Båstnäs can be seen as an installation where nature is the most important actor. Over the years, Båstnäs has become a cultural meeting place for artists and above all photographers from all over the world.
