Gällabjer

The Gällabjer reserve spans 148 hectares, featuring a rounded hill that rises 50 meters above the surrounding landscape with beech woodlands and pastures.

The hill formed through volcanic activity 100 to 180 million years ago, during a period when over 150 volcanoes were active in the Skåne region.

The reserve contains stone walls constructed from the local basalt rock, reflecting traditional Swedish agricultural practices and land management methods.

Two circular trails of 3 kilometers each lead visitors through the reserve, with parking areas at both the northwest and south entrances.

Hexagonal basalt columns remain visible at the summit, marking the location where lava solidified within the ancient volcano's crater millions of years ago.
