On the shores of southern Hjälmaren on a lake plot is this summer house with an adorable view down to the water. You are in the province of Närke on the border with Södermanland. The view down to the lake welcomes you as soon as you get inside the entrance. Straight ahead you have the house's dining area where you can sit and admire the lake view until well into the evening, here are both swans and cormorants that live in the bay. The kitchen adjacent to the dining area has most of what you may need, but not a dishwasher. There is a living room with comfortable seating and a stove that can raise the cosiness factor on a chilly evening when any TV show attracts. One of the bedrooms is adjacent to the living room and has a comfortable double bed and a sofa bed. The second bedroom located in the second part of the house has a correspondingly comfortable double bed. The bathroom is small but fresh and functional. Sitting out on the terrace with an open view down to the lake with something good in the glass when dinner is prepared on the charcoal grill is quality of life. Down by the lake there is a pergola with dining table and chairs, closer to the water than this you will not get without getting your feet wet. The small rowing boat which is included is located next to the grass pier and from it you can get out on the lake, if you want to fish, recreational fishing is free in Hjälmaren. There are also life jackets for 4 persons. You can swim after the beach, but it's not a prepared beach. Bathing shoes can be an idea to bring for those who want to swim directly from down by the pier. If you want a larger bath with jetties and sandy beach, Hampetorps Camping is recommended. It is about 3000 meters there, it is possible to walk on smaller roads, but also easy to take the car out on the larger road. The campsite has a mini shop with ice cream and groceries open in the summer and a restaurant section that often has different music performances on weekends. There is also Hampetorp's marina. Take the ferry one day out to Vinön, it departs according to schedule from Vinögatan. Out on the island there are several different bathing places and restaurants. If you need to refill the pantry, Vingåker has well-stocked shops, here is also Vingåkers Outlet where you shop for everything from clothes to porcelain. Julita Gård, run by nordiska museet, is worth a visit.

The limestone mines are a peculiar mining area where limestone, or lime stone as it is also called, was previously quarried. Because natural and almost vertical fissures in the rock were partially used during quarrying, huge open rooms with 10 - 12 m high smooth walls have been formed. Between these you pass through vaults blasted through the rock. The mine was mined at the end of the 19th century and was used for iron production in Degerfors. On the smooth walls you can see names, initials and dates carved by the miners. If you go on the Bergslagsleden, you have Stage 13 that passes Tryggeboda and from here there is a dead end to the mining area.
