By car: From Ullared take road 153 northwest. Turn right towards Källsjö after about 1.5 km. Follow the road for about 3 km, past the first part of the lake. Just after the road turns off over the lake to the left, there is a small grassy area where you can park your car.

To protect the nature reserve, the County Administrative Board has decided on special regulations, including those that you as a visitor to the area must follow and respect.

In addition to what applies under other legislation, it is forbidden to:

• damage living or dead trees, bushes and branches,
• damage, pick or collect mosses, lichens or fungi other than single specimens. The prohibition does not apply to the picking of edible mushrooms,
• putting up a board, poster, sign, carving or making an inscription
• camping for more than two consecutive days
• have a caravan or motorhome parked in the reserve at 22-06.
• organize camps, competitions or other events without the permission of the County Administrative Board,
• planting species alien to the area without the permission of the County Administrative Board, and
• without the permission of the County Administrative Board, carry out surveys that involve marking, collection or other impact on the natural environment. However, this permit requirement does not apply to the collection and killing of invertebrates if the collection is required for a reliable species identification to take place, it is done manually by picking, scooping or similar (i.e. not with traps) and it is done without damaging bark, wood or other substrates.
