Dear Postdocs,

There is still time to sign up for the UPS Spring Hike tomorrow Saturday June 1st to Grössjön, start 10:30 from Tomtebo!

Let’s have a look at how nature explodes after the snow! This trip is especially dedicated to families. That means the trail is short and easy and we will adjust the pace and agenda to the kids. If you are not a family, you are still welcome to join! Depending on who is there, we can split the group and you take the entire walk around the lake instead.

HIKE DETAILS:

We will start off from a parking spot nearby and our first goal would be to reach “Topp i Grössjön” (about 1 km from the start). There we can have a BBQ (I’ll bring charcoal/firewood). Depending on the group and participants, we can go back from there or walk further around the lake/to the bird watch tower. The tower itself was down the last time I visited the spot, but it’s a nice view anyway.

The route has some plank walks in between and I would generally not recommend bringing a buggy. My youngest daughter naps in some kind of bag pack. However, since the BBQ spot is so close to the parking, we will find a solution for every family and their needs.

WHEN: Saturday, June 1, at 10.30 am

END: Depending on how you/we feel, generally around 3 or 4 pm but leaving at any stage is fine.

WHERE: We will meet south of Tomtebo at a parking spot https://maps.app.goo.gl/nEd1tx3XZykLXoMo6. It is easily reachable by bike or car. If you want to come by bus you can walk there from one of Tomtebo’s bus stops in about 15 minutes.
