There is a turning point close to the reserve with limited parking place.

There are no signs to this reserve, but it is located right next to the border to Växjö’s municipality. From road 23/37 that goes from Braås to Nottebäck, follow the small white sign towards “Älmeshultsvägen”. Almost directly after the turn follow a smaller road called “Soldatvägen” south. Follow that road for about 1 km until you reach a turning place.
