Description
Welcome to a nature reserve with really old pine forest. There are also beautiful mushrooms and many insects. You will also see traces of people living and working the land, in fact for over 8,000 years. But most obvious of all is the rise in the landscape - the pebble ridge - called Getryggen. When the ice sheet melted, the ridge you see was formed. The pebble ridge consists of rounded stones, gravel and sand that have been ground down. In the uppermost part you can see a sharp, sharp crest. From a distance it looks like a goat's back and is known as a goat's back or knife back.

Vacker plats att gå där. Med gamla träder, hjortron, blåbär, stora stenar och en sjö.

Hej, jag besökte Getryggen och gillade det mycket. Jag letade till spår från människor som bott där lång sedan.
Ar det svårt att hitta.
