オスビーの天然記念物・トップ13

Just a few minutes from Olofström lies Halen, the largest lake in Blekinge. And honestly, Halen isn't a lake you'd just pass by. It's the largest in all of Blekinge, covering over 3 square kilometers, and it feels like every bay has a new story to tell. Part of the lake—and especially the wild surroundings—belongs to the Halen Nature Reserve, which stretches over a whopping 700 hectares. Or even more, depending on where you start—because the northern part was added later, bringing the total area to around 800 hectares of true natural adventure. What awaits you here? Forest, water, expanse. Pine trees on rocks, small islands in the shimmering lake, hidden shore spots where you can dangle your feet in the water. And right in the middle of it all: you. Whether paddling, hiking, or simply marveling.

This is an absolutely fantastic spot, as the reserve isn't overcrowded. Here you can enjoy the peace and quiet and, if the time is right, watch black grouse in the moor.

Next to the small bench is an information board about the island with details about the settlement at that time. Stone walls from this period can still be seen on the island itself.

We absolutely can't find the way. It's a real shame. We've tried three times already to park and start walking. No chance, because we can't find the parking lot.

You can hardly believe it!

Rest area with a great view on a rocky island in the moor.

The island in the moor was reclaimed in 1780 and was then inhabited for about 100 years.

A really impressive place. The view over the open space is really recommended. The route there is also worth a visit.
