Trollsjön is a sterile mountain lake with meltwater from nearby glaciers. The visibility depth is 37 meter all the way to the bottom of the deepest part of the lake.

The Kärkevagge valley is about 5.5 km long and is a labyrinthine landscape of large boulders. Kärkevagge means rocky valley, and hidden among these boulders are an estimated number of over 3000 caves in the walley floor.
