Description
Prästskaten is a small nature reserve with a unique history. In the past, livestock was often moved between winter and summer pastures in Sweden. This area is the only known summer pasture to exist in Stockholm. A long history of grazing has led to an incredibly rich wildflower meadow, with species that are specially adapted to a bygone way of managing the land. The reserve also has several large oaks and pines.
A hiking trail takes you through the reserve and out to some nice lookout points by Hasselviken.
