Description

Here you will be greeted by almost untouched nature with marshes and forests, without paths to follow. However, if you have a pair of rubber boots, there are good opportunities to pick blueberries and lingonberries. With a little luck, you can find mushrooms and sometimes even cloudberries.

**Note: The app gives you the wrong directions if you are driving. You should drive from the north, via Arboga Golf Club, otherwise you will end up at a locked road barrier.

Here there are two small lakes you can find your way to, the small lake Amerikasjön and the northern part of Ljungsjön. If you look out over Amerikasjön on a hot summer day, you can see lots of different kinds of dragonflies sweeping across the lake. If you're patient, there's also a chance of spotting some of the reserve's other inhabitants such as beavers, fallow deer, red deer and moose.

Tyvärr störs ju idyllen av cross-o fyrhjulingsåkare som kör runt hela området. Tycker det är trist att det ens är tillåtet i ett sådant område.

Hej Mia, tråkigt att höra!
Det är förbjudet att köra motordrivet fordon i terrängen inom själva naturreservatet. Om du ser spår efter körning i reservatet (ej på vägarna) kan du kontakta Länsstyrelsens växel, telefonnummer 010-224 90 00.
