Description
In the Huvududden nature reserve, you'll hike along the top of the mighty Uppsala Ridge. The ridge itself is a geological formation known as an esker. It starts at Gävle, continues through the islands of Lake Mälaren and ends at Södertörn to the south. Huvududden is one of the most beautiful locations along the ridge.
A 1 km path through the reserve leads you to a lookout point, with a spectacular view over Lake Mälaren. The nearby beach is a nice place to swim and there's a fire pit there as well. Many species of birds can be seen at Menhammarsviken, just south of Huvududden.
