The Stone of Shouting rises above the bay, its massive shape inviting silence and contemplation.

Frösö Road leads back to the lake and on the right-hand side of the road, there stands a stone, known as the ‘calling stone’. One could stand there and call out and hope that someone from the Långsjö side would hear and come with a rowboat, so one would not have to walk around. The price was probably voluntary and there were said to be several calling stones at the lake.

Since Frösö Road, there is now a console dock and a path along the shore. It was a municipal requirement for Allévägen housing to be built at the end of the 1970s for the communication of the house to be successful.
