About Fjällnora Naturistbad
Fjällnora is a municipal outdoor recreation area and nature reserve about 15 km east of Uppsala. Its old-growth forest lies between two rift-valley lakes, Trehörningen and Ramsen. The main family beach sits below the friluftsgård (lodge), which has a café and reception and is open all year. It has jetties, a diving tower, barbecue areas and a ramp with handrails into the water. The naturist bath is a separate, much smaller spot. Uppsala kommun's visitor leaflet places it on Ramsen, the quieter and less built-up of the two lakes. Naturkartan describes it as on a small point reached by following signs from the main beach. Expect a small grassy and sandy lakeshore rather than a beach, in a forest setting. The lake water is fresh and warms up in July. The area also has a dog beach, a camping site, canoe and rowing-boat hire, a high-ropes adventure course and marked walking trails, so the reserve is busy on summer weekends even though the naturist spot itself stays small.
Getting there
By car, take road 282 from Uppsala towards Almunge for about 15 km and turn off at the Fjällnora sign. There is a large car park about 500 m from the main beach. From there, follow the signs to the naturist bath. Regional buses stop at Fjällnora vägskäl, about 2.5-3 km walk from the area. In summer, the Lennakatten heritage railway and a vintage bus also run to Fjällnora. The main beach has a ramp with handrails, but the naturist spot is reached by forest paths.
