Description
For thousands of years, Skattmansöån has meandered through the landscape, cutting its way through the deep clay. Today, the river flows along the bottom of a beautiful ravine with steep sides in places. It gives a funny impression, because the landscape opens up under you.
In the Skattmansöådalen nature reserve you can keep yourself busy all year round. Several hiking trails run through the valley. From the ski slope you can hike the orange-marked Upplandsleden trail 1.6 km north to the historically interesting place Ytterkvarn. If you want to hike further, the Upplandsleden trail continues south down to Härjarö and north to Siggeforasjön.
In winter there is Uppland's highest ski slope with two lifts and trails for cross-country skiing and sledding. Next to the slope you will find a warming hut, a shelter and barbecue areas with wood storage.
