Description
In the crevasse valley where Trolldalen and Vargkitteln are located, a mighty ice river flowed when the ice sheet melted 10 000 years ago. The water abraded the edges of the valley sides and set large rocks spinning, drilling straight down into the rock and forming so-called giant pots. The steep valley sides are covered in old-growth forest with many rare mosses, lichens and fungi. The reserve is part of Natura 2000, the EU's network of valuable nature sites.

Jättefin vandring, tag med egen ved då det inte finns på plats vid vargkitteln. Söder om vargkitteln verkar leden vara omarkerad.

Var där idag och till min förvåning så är det någon som röjt upp rejält. Nu kan man vandra hela rundslingan och det var gott om plats vid grillplatsen som utökats med ytterligare en eldstad, Toppen👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
