A large nature reserve with hilly terrain that you can return to again and again and discover something new every time. Several nice lakes that invite you to swim, if you feel like it. There are no paths, so you have to have a GPS (or map and compass) with you so you can find your way back to the car. There are plenty of llamas (lying dead trees), so there will be some climbing over these. Up on the heights you will find dry rocky areas and light and airy pine forest. Plenty of blueberries if you want to pick them. Down in the depressions grows older spruce forest. There are several well-preserved cottage ruins, for those interested in history. On the way to the nature reserve you pass several legendary places, including Brudberget (where a bridal party was taken by the troll) and the so-called Käringberget (where a corpse disappeared without a trace, after which a female ghost was observed). These are marked with signs along the way. The air fleet in Hasselstad usually flies training flights over the area on weekday mornings, so if you want peace and quiet, a visit during weekends or afternoons/evenings is recommended.
