väldigt fin skog, gick på kompass för att komma upp, då det var svårt hitta en led upp från skylten

Hej Elisabeth! Kul att du gillade Svanahuvudets naturreservat. Det stämmer att det inte finns någon stig i området. Bra att ha med en kompass! I Naturkartan kan du ju också se var du är, om du har gps-funktionen på.
