Hällestadsåsen-Borelund, nature reserve

Many of the eskers in the area around Hällestad have long been exploited for their stone and gravel. Hällestad’s ridges are a remnant of what once existed and are now protected as two nature reserves. The entire ridge is covered in beech woodland, which creates an interesting contrast to the surrounding landscape. The terrain is sometimes steep and difficult to access, which adds to the interesting character of the landscape.
