Vånga, Skåne
Known for its remote wilderness, this northeast corner of Skåne is the place to be if you long for silence, seclusion and unique nature experiences. Home to many lakes and meandering streams, it’s a paradise for kayakers and canoers of all levels. The table is located in the small village of Vånga and is placed in a typical Scanian apple orchard, right by the shore of Lake Ivösjön. For the fishing fanatics, don’t forget to bring your fishing rod!
