Lodging
Falkuddens Camping is closest, just a few meters from the meet. The cottages are usually booked far in advance, but there should be camping spots left. The campground is on the banks of a lake and has bathrooms, showers, caravan/RV spots and a little cafe.
We also have a field set aside for free camping. No frills (your toilet is the nearest bush), but hey, it's free. So that we can keep offering free camping, please clean up after yourself and take all your stuff with you when you leave. Ah, that is, when you leave the camping site. But of course, that should also apply for when you leave the bushes.
Taxi phone numbers:
Holmberg Buss och Traffik: 0226-706 00
Västanhede Traffik AB: 0226-580 70

You need pick-up from Näs Idrottsplats (pronounced "nes eedrots plats").
Better yet, ask a new Swedish friend for help...
Dialling:
