Fruberget, Segersgärde

**The hiking trail at Segersgärde towards Fruberget starts from the main parking lot in Segersgärde (the one that is signposted from Norrlandsleden) and first goes through pastures to the west where the flowering is rich in spring with, among other things, various orchid species.

The trail continues along the slope of Fruberget, which is rich in large broadleaf trees where you can see traces of meadow use in the form of old pollarded trees. The trail then goes north through the mixed coniferous forest and then you go up the quartzite mountain, and to its top 67 meters above sea level. There is a wonderful view and with good visibility you can see both Lofta and Gamleby churches and further out towards the archipelago's many islands. There are several strangely twisted hundred-year-old pine trees here.

At the top of Fruberget, you can then descend to the northern parking lot of Segersgärde Nature Reserve or choose to walk down the mountain south through the thinned woodland into the pastures to arrive back at the main parking lot. Here you look out over Gamlebyviken, the bird-rich islets and further out Jungfruholmen, which is a bird protection area to protect bird life there. South of the main parking lot there are also a number of picnic tables to enjoy a coffee break.
