Arnöhuvud

High up on Uppsalaåsen we stand and look out over the waters of Lake Mälaren. The sun has just disappeared behind a cloud, and the wind is freshening and ruffling our hair. Surely there is a sea eagle hovering over the bay? In fact, there are many birds in the surrounding bays and we have a wonderful view from the ridge.

At Arnöhuvud, the Uppsala ridge rises a full 45 m above sea level. The slopes down to the water are steep and covered with coniferous forest. In the Bronze Age, Arnöhuvud was an island from which there was a good view of the waterway towards Uppsala. Traces of the people of that time can be seen today in the form of several large stone cairns.

From the parking lot you can choose between two trails. One, 650 m long, goes through a forest with many deciduous trees, down towards the water and Reveludden. If you follow the other path, after about 1.3 km you will reach the top of Arnö huvud. Feel free to bring a coffee and stay for a while.
