Description

A cape with varied flora and fauna, giant trees and the traces of an old quarry.

Much of the area is broadleaf woodland, grazed land and forested rock. Older pastures contain old linden trees which were pollarded for animal feed.

The bedrock is fine-grained gneiss, Blekinge coastal gneiss, which used to be used for cobbles.

There are defensive bunkers along the shoreline from the Per Albin Line, a line of fortifications over 500 kilometres long, dating from the Second World War and named after the Swedish Prime Minister at the time, Per Albin Hansson.

The rules for the nature reserve are shown in the link below, but, for example, you are not allowed to drive a vehicle/ride a horse/cycle, pitch a tent/camp for more than 24 hours or light a fire other than in a designated spot.
