Some tips during the visit:

Stay offline - turn off the phone silently and stay offline when visiting the forest.

Value the moment - release all everyday thoughts to be present here and now.

Walk slowly - slow in and walk slower than normal on the path out here.

Listen - nature is almost never completely silent, and its sound often has a restful effect.

Smell and feel - each forest has its own scents, which change with the season and weather. Feel the rough bark or the soft moss.

Quiet locations in an area mean that the experience of desirable sounds strongly outweighs the impact of disturbing noise. In quiet places, at least 80 % of the visitors in an area after the visit should consider that they have experienced a good sound environment lower than 45 dB (A). Here one can be surrounded by nature's own sounds; such as the waves from the lake, a breeze in the foliage or bird song. There are several quiet places and areas around Växjö that are tagged in the Nature map. The city sounds are often present, but relatively quiet places are still close by. Wind strength, weather, season and time of day affect how the quiet places are experienced in the moment.

Turn off from the illuminated track onto the path, direct the steps north at the red post near the dog playground.
