Description
About three kilometers east of Fagersta you will find the Kråksten nature reserve. Here you can walk in a really old forest, over bogs and rocky areas. If you like picking berries, you'll find lingonberries, blueberries and the occasional blackberry. If you are interested in birds, keep an eye out for capercaillie and three-toed woodpecker, while those interested in plants can find green clover, bird's-foot trefoil and creeping bent.
In the southern part of the reserve, the land slopes steeply down towards Ängelsbergsvägen and Sundbo Dammsjön. This is where you will find the Brudslöjan waterfall. With its five meters, Brudslöjan is the county's highest waterfall. However, Brudslöjan is dry most of the year. The best chance of seeing water in the waterfall is in spring when the snow melts.
