From here, you can start a lovely walk around Lake Södra Hyn through the reed meadows. On the slope northwest of the lake, you'll find more burial mounds about 20 meters from the path. They're easy to miss, so keep your eyes open.

There is easy parking and there are several beautiful walking and hiking routes as well as opportunities for swimming

From here, several circular hiking trails lead through the nature reserve. “The reserve is a freshwater archipelago with many different types of environments. There are bare rocky beaches, sandy beaches suitable for swimming and shallow bays overgrown with reeds. The views can be breathtaking and it is not uncommon to see the white-tailed eagle fly by with prey in its talons. The Segerstad area is part of the Segerstad Archipelago Nature Reserve. The area, which is a peninsula, is the only part of the nature reserve that can be reached without a boat. There are hiking trails in the area that are accessible to everyone.” Information from the nature conservation authority

What remains of the castle is the approximately 400 m long stone wall that can be traced in the ground vegetation around the mountain top. The castle was naturally delimited to the west and north by the steep mountain flank. At the time of use, the dam was probably reinforced with a palisade or other wooden structure. A total of four entrances to the castle have been found. Most of the old castles were probably built in the late Iron Age (400-1050 AD). They probably created places of refuge for the people of the area during troubled times. The old castles could also have served as sentinels at fords and waterways, or they could have been fortified settlements. The old castle on Lompberget is part of a series of old castles along the northern coast of Vänern. text from the shield

These two burial mounds were probably built during the Bronze Age (1800 - 500 BC). Bronze Age cairns are often well constructed and sometimes contain stone coffins. The coffins can be as long as a man for skeleton graves or small for cremation graves, i.e. graves with burned bones. Investigations sometimes unearth bronze objects such as razors and tweezers that the dead had taken to the grave. Burial pits are widespread along the waterways in southern and central Värmland. It shows the importance of water for the development of prehistoric buildings. During the Bronze Age, the waterways were the main means of communication, connecting rather than dividing settlement. The location of burial mounds on a cliff by the water is characteristic. (text from sign)

Beautiful stretch of beach in Vänerskärgården. Very inviting to linger and possibly bathe in Vänern.
