Description
Welcome to the Adelsö-Sättra nature reserve! Enjoy the untouched spruce forest, where the ground is covered by soft mosses and dense berry bushes. Take a swim in Lake Mälaren, be amazed by the huge anthills or look deep into the dark brew of the witches cauldron. The witches cauldron is a rare fungus, found partly submerged in the moss below old spruces from February – May. The witches cauldron is protected, meaning you are not allowed to pick it, but go ahead and take photographs!
You can get here on foot from the Adelsöleden trail, which follows the shoreline through the reserve. You are allowed to make a fire at the designated fire pit by the water, where you have a nice view over Lake Mälaren.
