Description

Getaryggarna is a scenic stretch of road west of the current road 27
between the communities of Bor and Rydaholm. The road winds its way through
heath beech forest on an esker, lined with old wooden buildings, ancient
monuments, nature reserves and swimming areas.

The forest grows close to the road and at times driving beneath the
delicate foliage feels like travelling through a tunnel of greenery. Look out
for hepaticas and wood anemone in spring. There are two pitches for motorhomes
along the route.

The
area extends about 2 km along the old road between Bor and Rydaholm. In the
northern part is the beautiful Eds Manor, which was built in the 1840s. The
oldest remains in the grounds are from the medieval castle Trolleborg, which
was probably built in the middle of the 14th century and destroyed during the
Engelbrekt rebellion in 1434.

Hej!
Hur hittar man till den fina vägen som ni beskriver i texten ovan, den som ska ligga väster om riksväg 27? Hur jag än letar i Google maps kan jag inte finna en rimlig väg som överensstämmer med er beskrivning.
Vänliga hälsningar
Anna Stenlund

Hej Anna! Tack för frågan. På riksväg 27, drygt 3 km söder om Bor, finns en skylt där det står "Hyggestorp 7". Det är den vägen du ska svänga in på och följa söderut. Den vägen leder genom Hyggestorp, genom de vackra bokskogarna och slutar ca 2 km väster om Rydaholm. Därifrån sedan, är det tydlig skyltning till Rydaholm. MVH Martin Alemyr
