Prästaskogen

The trees were planted in many regular rows, which can still be seen if you look carefully during your walk through the forest. The forest consists mostly of oak, with elements of bird berry, ash and lime. Dense thickets of elder, sloe and other species with flowers and berries frame the area. This is good for pollinators and birds, which can find food in the thickets!

The right of public access applies in Prästaskogen, which is as much about what you as a visitor have a responsibility to take care of nature as what you are allowed to do. Read about the right of public access on the Swedish Nature Conservation Agency's website.
