Description

A walk through Karsefors nature reserve offers many wonderful experiences. Here, along the old river Lagan, you will find both broadleaf forests and pastures. In spring, flowering wood anemones cover the woodland and in summer the trees' delicate greenery takes over.
Karsefors is easily accessible even by car, which has made it a very popular excursion destination. Near the waterfall in the east there are tables and benches and a cultural sign telling about the fall.

Marked path

A well-trodden path, Forsastigen, stretches just over 2.5 kilometers along the river on the south side of the reserve. The trail is marked with red trail markers and on your walk here you walk through both hilly forest and open land. The trail can be walked from two directions, either you start at the rapids and then follow the trail west on a hilly path or you go from the back of the church, across the field where you can choose to go either west about 500 meters or away to the rapids about 2 kilometers.

There is valuable forest here

Virtually all the forest on the southern bank of the Lagan River in the reserve is a key biotope, i.e. classified as an environment worthy of special protection. The northern part of the reserve is located on the island that arose during the construction of the power plant when a new canal and dam were dug.

View of Lagan

From the bridge in the northern part of the reserve you have a view of Lagan surrounded by deciduous forest. The lushest part is between Karsefors and the party site at Uddekulla, where the forest is largely untouched. Boulder-rich soils with elements of marsh are interesting environments for mosses, among other things.

Unique hawthorn trees

In the west, the grazing animals have created mosaic-like wooded pasture with open glades and groups of trees. There is a great variety of trees and shrubs in the area. Here you will find oak, ash, elm, linden, maple, alder, willow, willow, rowan, birch, elder, sloe, barberry and hazel. There are plenty of hawthorn trees in the reserve, which is unusual in Halland and Sweden.
