WARNING. Please be warned that there are many standing dead trees in the nature reserve. They may fall unexpectedly and without warning. Avoid visiting the area, especially when it is windy.

Due to the many dead trees, the County Administrative Board currently does not maintain the hiking trail and we advise against using it.

Description

Slessberget towers above the surrounding landscape, offering stunning views of both Kålsöfjärden and Mörkö. Old coniferous forest covers the mountainous slopes. In early summer, wildflowers, such as lily of the valley and scented Solomon's seal, bloom here. Winding paths lead up the mountainside to the east. Here, you will find the remnants of a hillfort from the Middle Ages. Oak forests surround the mountain to the west and in the centre of the reserve, there is a small alder fen.
