Hej Elisabeth! Kul att du gillade Svanahuvudets naturreservat. Det stämmer att det inte finns någon stig i området. Bra att ha med en kompass! I Naturkartan kan du ju också se var du är, om du har gps-funktionen på.

väldigt fin skog, gick på kompass för att komma upp, då det var svårt hitta en led upp från skylten
