Trail description

The Trollskogen nature reserve is located at the north-eastern tip of Öland and is one of Öland's most popular and well-visited excursion destinations. The trails in Trollskogen take you around in a varied environment of old and pastoral coniferous forest. In Trollskofgen there are cultural and historical sights such as Iron Age graves, redoubts, Öland's oldest oak tree, the old railway track and the wreck of Swiks.

Nature lives up to its name. Moon-century-old oaks, gnarled wind-pinned pines, old rough wide-crowned oaks and woods covered with ivy create a magical feeling. The Troll Forest leads out to the sea's pebble beach, flowery dry meadows and the grazed meadows of Grankulleviken.

The trails start and end at Naturum Trollskogen, which is located next to the parking lot of the reserve. Signs and colour markers guide you around the reserve. At Naturum Trollskogen there are many exciting things for children to discover.

The Murgrönestigen trail is just over two kilometres long. The trail is marked in yellow and it is possible to get around with a pram. Parts of the trail are also suitable for wheelchairs. A longer section is graveled. The trail takes you past trees that are entwined and embedded in ivy and the meadows of Grankulla Bay. The ivy path takes you through the wall now believed to be a boundary wall of ceremonial life two thousand years ago and passes the Iron Age grave at the southernmost point of the reserve.
