Borrås skåra, Natural gorge in Åkraberg, Sweden.
Borrås skåra is a narrow gorge near Åkraberg carved deeply into bedrock with steep walls rising on both sides. The passage cuts through woodland and shows visitors how water shaped the landscape over time.
The gorge formed during the Ice Age when meltwater from glaciers carved through bedrock and created this deep crevice. This geological process left a feature that has remained unchanged for thousands of years.
Local residents connected with the gorge through tales about a silk thread holding a suspended boulder, which would fall when the last person passes beneath.
The visit starts at the parking area near Värö Church, from where a marked trail leads through woodland to the gorge. The site is accessible on foot, though the terrain is uneven and sturdy footwear helps.
A large boulder wedges firmly between the walls and creates a natural gateway high above the path. This formation happened by chance and owes its stability to the exact fit between the walls.
