Hiking
In many places the Hökensås nature is as close to the backwoods as you can get. The extensive pinewoods and undulating terrain are similar to that in northern Sweden. So why not pack a tent and primus stove for a weekend of exercise, backpacking experiences in nature and solitude. The western leg of the Vätternleden hiking trail is  some 150 kilometres long and divided into 8 stages. Maps are available at tourist offices. There are also shorter tours which start at the Hökensås Holiday village.
