Kalkbrottsstigen i Karlkberget naturreservat

The limestone quarry path is marked in red on cairns and trees and is 1.3 km long (single track). The path leads you up and along Kalkberget down into the limestone quarry at the northeastern end of the nature reserve and out towards the water. You can choose to walk the same way back via the mountain or to wander back along the gravel road below the mountain and the beach meadows.

At the top of the mountain is a picnic table with seating.

At the north-eastern end of the mountain is an old abandoned limestone quarry that was used in the late 1800s. The steps down to the limestone quarry are fenced in with gunnebostängsel. Remember to be careful around the limestone quarry! At the limestone quarry there is a staircase that takes you down from the mountain and into the limestone quarry. It is not shoveled in winter so be aware of slippery conditions. Along the path there are several places where prepared ropes help you keep your balance in steep sections.

The flora and fauna in the mountain is unique due to the high content of lime in the rock. Species that you normally only find on Öland and Gotland thrive here. In summer, the beautiful orchid St. Peter's keys bloom along with bloodwort, field wormwood and white buttercup. Many butterflies thrive in the flower-rich environment. If you are lucky, you can see the rare hazel dormouse warming itself in the sun in spring.
