The mountain crevice is approximately 100 meters long, 10 meters deep and 0.5-2.5 meters wide. It was created around 100 million years ago in a weak spot in the rock. Over time, erosion and weather influences have created the crevice.

The steep walls of the Borrås Skåra, smoothed by an Ice Age meltwater river, are up to ten meters high at the deepest part of the gorge. The width varies between one and two meters, so that you can walk through the approximately one hundred meter long gorge relatively easily.

Only at the end of the gorge is there an obstacle in the form of a large boulder wedged between the rock walls. At around one and a half meters, the distance to the ground is sufficient so that you can walk under the block in a bent posture. According to legend, fears that the rock could fall while you are under it are unfounded. Accordingly, he only falls when the last remaining person on earth has passed under him.

A short distance further, at the upper exit of the gorge, you come to a rocky plateau that was probably used as a location for a refuge castle in the Iron Age and offers a beautiful view of the surrounding area. Within sight is, among other things, the historic farm Åkrabergs Ladugård, just one kilometer away, and the adjacent nature reserve Åkrabergs Nature Reserve.

After a short footpath you can find a big splitted rock and a path through it.
A smaller rock is hanging between the walls.
