Fjärilsstigen, Hågadalen-Nåsten

The butterfly trail in the nature reserve Hågadalen-Nåsten's northern part is actually one of the most species-rich butterfly habitats in Sweden!

The entire trail is 3 km long, one way. The first half you walk along an old railway embankment. Here the path is very easy to walk, bicycles and strollers can get around without problems. The second half you walk along an easy path. Along the way there are nine information signs. At four of these there is also a mobile guide where you can use your smart phone during the summer months to find out more about the butterflies at the site.

You can see different butterflies in different places along the trail. In the open agricultural landscape, butterfly species such as the nettle butterfly, rape butterfly and comb grass butterfly thrive, while species such as the white-winged butterfly and aspen butterfly thrive in the forest. Different butterfly species also fly at different times of the year. If you want to see many different species, walks in early May, late June and late July are recommended. It should also be sunny and warmer than 17 degrees. On really windy days they sit and press in the vegetation.
