Sundtjärn and its turquoise waters
The beautiful nature at Kittelfältet is captivating in many ways with stately pine trees and the ground full of pits of varying sizes. The pits appeared after large pieces of the ice sheet fell off and became embedded in the sand. The deepest pits at Kittelfältet are filled with water that makes them look like small lakes and if you pass by Sundtjärn, you will definitely be stopping to take a picture. Sundtjärn actually has turquoise water which gets its colour from a special phytoplankton.
