Horse riding

Fishing
Rainbow trout can be caught by fly fishing or spinning from the Kejsardammen Ponds. If you would prefer to outsmart pike, perch or zander, try Lake Snogeholm, where float fishing, casting and spinning are permitted. Both the pond and the lake have platforms suitable for disabled users. In winter you can do ice fishing on Lake Snogeholm.
A fishing permit is required for both the pond Kejsardammen and for Lake Snogeholm whether fishing from the shore, from a boat or on the ice. For more information about fishing in the Kejsardammen Ponds, contact www.castlefish.se. For information about fishing in Lake Snogeholms - buy the permit at iFiske.
