Cykeltur bland berg, troll och sägner

Ljungby is surrounded by a special mystique and some places are more spellbinding than others. Set yourself up for a trip to exciting excursion destinations for the whole family, in Sagobygden. A journey in Sagobygden is a journey in a landscape where there is unconnectedness and lortaty everywhere. It is also a journey to scenic places, forgotten sights and a way to get to know people's lives and lives in the past. Go on adventures in forest and land in the compact dark green conifers of the troll forest and look for trolls.

Trolls live in mountains, under large boulders, in burial mounds or in the forest. They are known for their cunning and it is important to be vigilant as they can be difficult to recognize. Sometimes they look like people. The best way to reveal a troll is to use a Christian word or sign, as they, like other supernatural beings, cannot stand these.

In Kuggaberg, south of Målaskog, the trolls live. According to legend, the mountain is lifted up and stands on golden pillars on Christmas Eve. At the foot of the troll mountain there is a memorial stone for the storyteller Mickel in Långhult.

Take the short detour to the Granhultsberget nature reserve. Park the bikes at the parking lot and go up the mountain. Up on the Granhultsberget nature reserve, there are remains of the former quarrying of black granite and the silver mine. To appease the trolls during the quarrying, a couch has been built from boulders next to a small lake. The best way to explore the nature reserve is by following the challenging Bergslingan, which goes up the mountain over logs and rocks. Don't forget to keep an eye out for the goblins and other oddities, maybe you can even see the goblins sitting on the sofa watching over the mountain's riches.

The sawmills Halta-Kajsa in Ryd, Agundaborg, Trollsmeden in Nockarp and S:t Birthes are also close to the cycle tour, stop by and look in the cabinets.
