Very beautiful circular trail over hill and dale. In places also through marshy areas with wooden walkways. Good footwear is advisable.

Beautiful waterfall. Unfortunately, we didn't have the full water, but it was still beautiful to see. It looks even more impressive from below than from above.

A beautiful, easily accessible waterfall. There are many spots above and below the waterfall that are ideal for swimming. The paths are not suitable for bicycles, strollers, or wheelchairs.

the village of Gårdshult is located on a hill in the northern part of the reserve. The slope towards the river Assman is partly covered with deciduous forest. The Gårdshult reserve covers 158 hectares and has been protected since 1991.

Great view of the lively river. You'll have to leave the main path slightly to reach the water.

The nature reserve is where the village of Bröda once stood, and is made up of an ancient beech forest and open pastures. The pastures and woods lead towards Lake Simlången. It's a wonderful place for hiking and admiring the rich biodiversity.
