Description
A ship, a horse and an axe. It takes a little imagination to see what the thousands of years old images carved into the rock are supposed to represent. But Hemsta's many rock carvings from the Bronze Age are an impressive sight. On the so-called Hemstahällen there is a large carving with around 500 different figures! How long did they take to make and what tools were used?
Hemsta Nature Reserve is a pasture area grazed by animals. Smooth rocky outcrops stand out among the junipers, sloe berry bushes and rose hips, some with rock carvings painted red.
Almond blossom, wood anemone and other flowers and plants that thrive in open pastures are found here. Bring a picnic to Hemsta on a nice day, are there any nicer picnic areas than well-grazed pastures? The road divides the reserve into two parts. In the northern part it is nice to wander around and look at the vegetation. In the southern part, you'll find the figure-rich Hemsta hill.
Remember that there are occasionally grazing animals in the pasture. Walk around the animals and keep your dog on a leash.
