Ramsvikslandet

Ramsvikslandet is a nature reserve along Sweden's west coast featuring rocky cliffs, steep shores, and numerous hiking paths across its span. The landscape combines exposed bedrock with coastal vegetation and marked trails that guide visitors through different sections of the terrain.

During the 1930s, the construction of the Sote Canal separated this place from the mainland, transforming it into an island. This engineering work reshaped the geography of the entire area.

The southern part called Tryggö holds a large Bronze Age burial mound known as King Tryggve's grave, which marks where ancient people made their homes in this area. Walking here, you can feel the presence of those who settled these rocky shores long ago.

Two main parking areas at Tångevik in the north and Haby in the south provide access to marked trails throughout the reserve. Trail maps are available at entry points to help you navigate the different routes.

Ice Age geological formations here include giant cauldrons and clear marks of glacial movement carved into the rock surfaces. These features reveal how ice shaped the land thousands of years ago.
