Description

The most north-western part of Helgö Island was formed when the glaciers receded. Walk along Stora Jägareås Ridge, and you'll be reminded of forces that were set in motion 10,000 years ago. When the melted snow rushed forward together with stones, sand and gravel, the Växjöåsen Ridge was formed. The long, narrow boulder ridge follows Lake Helgasjön from Åby in the north to Evedal in the south. Sometimes, the backbone of the ridge is visible, and sometimes it's hidden below the surface of the water. At Stora Jägareås Ridge, the large pines follow the trail toward Jägaregap , which forms a sound stretching toward Lilla Jägareås island. On the promontory, you can often see black-throated divers and ospreys, sometimes also with migrating birds. In winter, it is exciting to explore the islands with skates and skis. See the link below for more information about this nature reserve. The reserve is administered by the County Administration of Kronoberg.
