In Järvafältet national park you will find miles of gravel roads, mountain bike pathways, deep forests, roaming cattle. In the area are the lakes Säbysjön (lovely view and bird life) and Översjön (good for a swim). There are picnic areas, barbecue facilities, toilets, swimming facilities, ski trails and bird towers. In Säby farm, west of Säbysjön, there are riding stables and a café. It’s close by but a little tricky to get to because of the construction of the new metro. Please talk to me and I’ll explain how you get there.
