You are in a unique environment with regards to the opportunities of getting in touch with nature. The unspoilt location means the wildlife is rich. Close encounters with elk, deer, fox, hare, capercaillie and lynx are not unusual.
Fishing in an unspoilt natural environment is a geniune experience both for the amateur and the more experienced angler. Lake Nysockensjön is renowned for its fishing – especially the pikeperch fishing in June through August is widely known amongst anglers. There is normally a good supply of pike and large perch the year round.
Olebynäset has few inhabitants. Forest environment is characteristic of the vast majority of the surroundings. Please follow the marked paths. The closeness to nature requires great care to preserve the unspoilt environment.
