Description
Badelundaåsen is a pebble ridge formed during the Ice Age. Here you will find yourself in one of Sweden's most archaeologically dense areas, best known for the large burial mound Anundshög. There are over 200 ancient remains within the boundaries of the nature reserve alone. Parts of the Badelunda fornstig trail run through the nature reserve. Along the paths there are signs that tell you about the various ancient remains.
Badelunda Ridge is clearly visible in the landscape, in some places it is twenty meters high. The ridge was formed during the Ice Age when meltwater flowed through tunnels under the ice and carried away stones, gravel and sand. The stones and gravel were ground smooth against each other as they flowed under the ice. When the meltwater reached the edge of the ice, the rocks and gravel sank to the ground and formed pebble ridges.
The City of Västerås is responsible for Badelunda Nature Reserve, telephone number 021-39 00 00, e-mail kontaktcenter@vasteras.se.
