Gällabjer, Nature reserve in Skåne, Sweden.
Gällabjer is a nature reserve in Skåne featuring a rounded hill that rises noticeably above the flat surrounding landscape. The terrain is covered with beech woodlands and open pastures that shape the character of the area.
The hill formed through volcanic activity roughly 100 to 180 million years ago, when the region experienced intense geological upheaval. This ancient volcanic origin continues to shape the structure and composition of the landscape.
The reserve contains stone walls constructed from the local basalt rock, reflecting traditional Swedish agricultural practices and land management methods.
Two walking trails wind through the reserve offering different ways to explore depending on how much time you have. Parking areas at multiple entry points make it easy to access the site.
The hilltop displays hexagonal basalt columns formed when lava solidified in an ancient volcanic crater millions of years ago. These unusual rock formations reward close attention when you climb to the summit.
