Skurugata

The Skurugata gorge extends 800 meters in length, with widths between 7 and 24 meters, flanked by vertical rock walls reaching 35 meters high.

The establishment of Skurugata as a protected nature reserve occurred on October 26, 1967, ensuring the preservation of its geological features for future generations.

Local folklore connects the cave known as Tjuva-Jösses Håla within the gorge to tales of a notorious thief who used it as a hiding place.

The two-kilometer circular path from the parking area includes gravel sections suitable for wheelchairs and strollers, leading to multiple picnic spots with tables.

The temperature inside the gorge drops substantially compared to the summit, creating conditions for rare moss species typically found in northwestern Swedish mountains.
