Since the 1970s, a natural jewel has been emerging here almost unnoticed. In 2022 it was opened to the public. The wonderful combination of huge sequoias and exotic shrubs, some of which are in bloom, is a feast for the eyes and worth a long walk.

A tranquil natural gem on the Eckberg—a five-hectare "enchanted forest" with exotic trees, rhododendrons, and sequoias from all over the world. Open to the public since 2022, with new paths, seating areas, and viewpoints.
