Description

Discover open rocky ground and a mosaic of ancient forest with monuments from the Bronze and Iron Ages.

Ancient monuments from the Bronze Age dominate, such as grave fields, cairns and a standing stone, and north-west of Färskesjön there is a sunken lane 400 metres long.

This is home to clustered bracket fungus and the plants red Alpine catchfly, heather and white swallow-wort, and lesser spotted woodpeckers and nightjars nest in the area.

The rules for the nature reserve are shown in the link below, but, for example, you are not allowed to camp, light a fire other than in a designated spot, bring a dog or cycle/ride a horse other than on the road in the northern part of the nature reserve.
