Drakamöllan

The reserve spans 162 hectares of sandy grasslands and beech woodlands, featuring purple heather blooms during late summer months.

The sandy hills of Drakamöllan formed during the ice sheet melting, with early settlers using these soils for agricultural purposes since ancient times.

Traditional agricultural methods involve rotating cultivation of rye and buckwheat, followed by extended fallow periods that transform fields into grazing pastures.

Visitors can explore a 3-kilometer marked trail through the reserve, with picnic facilities available at the entrance near Highway 19.

The reserve maintains specific burning schedules for sections of heath to prevent heather overgrowth and preserve the ecological balance of open grasslands.
