Midsommargrottan, Hjörnered / The Midsummer Cave

Experience one of Halland’s largest cobblestone caves in Hjörnered! The cave is situated next to an esker created by the melting inland ice. To get to Midsommargrottan, follow the yellow hiking trail in Hjörnered, starting near Vippentorpet. Once you’ve reached the cave, make sure to read the stories about strange happenings said to have happened here! Will you be brave enough to enter the cave after reading the tales?

Snibe stua, Våxtorp / The ginormous cavern

Snibe stua is said to have been the home of the giant Snibe and his wife Kitta. Much later is also said to have housed Freebooters and the Snapphane movement. It can prove a bit tricky to get to Snibe stua, so make sure to follow the well-worn paths leading to the cave! The easiest path is following skåneleden, as it passes the cave.

A hidden gem at the top of Hallandsåsen is Hälleforsen, which is an unmarked rapid running down the north side of the ridge.
