A forest path leads from Udden, after crossing Route 370, directly to the Kedträsket bathing area. The shallow, sandy beach is perfect for swimming and relaxing. The path is surfaced partly with forest floor, partly with fine gravel, and partly with coarse crushed stone. Shortly before reaching the bathing area, the path turns into sand.
The bathing area offers a grill area, several cabins, a dry toilet and a barbecue hut with dining tables. It's not really suitable for fishing. The spot is a popular meeting place for locals.
The cabins at Kedträsket date back to the pre-mechanization era. Forestry companies built them as accommodation for their employees. They often housed the crew, foreman, and cook, and usually included a stable.
Three kilometers southwest of Udden lies the old Uddengruvan mine – a short stop is worthwhile. Follow the road around the mine lake, and you'll reach a small hill with a beautiful view. The lake water's striking color is due to its mineral content. Please note that swimming is harmful to your health and should therefore be avoided.
Along the way, you'll encounter, among other things, the old concrete pylons of the Linbanan material ropeway. Until 1987, iron ore mined between Kristineberg and Boliden was transported via this 96-kilometer-long line. After the industrial ropeway was decommissioned, 13 kilometers between Mensträsk and Örträsk were preserved and developed into the world's longest passenger ropeway, which delighted numerous tourists until 2017. Subsequently, the ropeway had to be permanently shut down and dismantled for safety reasons. You'll also pass a reindeer enclosure where the animals are herded together twice a year. Each animal is then tagged with an ear tag and assigned to its respective owner's family. This family is responsible for the animals' health, tags the calves, and decides which animals are ready for slaughter for their meat, hides, and antlers.
