Falkudden Camping och Stugby

Canoeing and boating straight from the site is a much recommended way to explore the local surroundings: drift along the water or paddle to one of the local islands for a picnic. Also nearby, beaver safaris run from late August and in early September to see beavers in their natural habitat. About 30 kilometres to the east between Dalarna and Gävleborg counties is the Färnebofjärden Natural Park, covering over 10,000 hectares of floodplain, lowlands, forest and nature reserves. It's a hiking haven as well as a birdwatching one: over 200 types of birds live here including woodpeckers, ospreys, white-tailed eagles and aquatic species like terns, herons, cranes and swans. A day among the huge caverns and lakes of Sala Silvermijn, one of the world’s best preserved mine settings, is also a top local trip; closer to home, you could have peaceful pedals in the surroundings of Näs or play tennis 500 metres from the site (make reservations at reception). For urban days, the small town of Avesta is 20 kilometres away, and Dalarna's oldest city Hedemora within 45. The cities of Borlänge, Västerås and Uppsala are all about 90 kilometres from Falkudden.
