Nice hike along Lake Kottlasjön on Lidingö

Nice hike along Lake Kottlasjön on Lidingö
This family's experience:

Activities: We hiked along Kottlasjön. We didn't walk around the entire lake, but at least half of it. Along the path, there are swimming areas, barbecue areas, wind shelters, interesting and signposted cultural buildings (Trasthagen), benches and outdoor gyms. We walked along Trasthagen and Kottlasjön

Highlights: We enjoyed the beautiful walk along Kottlasjön and the variety of things to see along the way. The kids loved playing and climbing in the trees. It was a very nice walk, but it was a bit too long for a 4-year-old ✨
