Hykjeberget

Hykjeberget, Mountain summit in Älvdalen, Sweden.

Hykjeberget is a south-facing hill on the border between Mora and Älvdalen municipalities, reaching 594 metres above sea level. Its bedrock is porphyry tuff containing jasper, quartz and agate, and on the south side a cliff drops about 100 metres. The slope below the cliff holds a mix of southern warmth-loving plants and northern species such as sweet woodruff, maple, hepatica, wood anemone and alpine catchfly.

In 1734, botanist Carl von Linné visited the mountain to document plant species, finding many that were uncommon for the area. This early scientific visit established the site's botanical importance.

The mountain's name comes from Hykje, the well-preserved fäbod (summer pasture farm) passed on the way up from the village of Klitten. The south-facing slopes have drawn botanists since 1722, and Carl von Linné described the flora below the cliff in 1734.

Trails to the viewpoint above the cliff start from the village of Klitten. The route passes Hykje, a well-preserved fäbod (summer pasture farm), before reaching the top.

The mountain gave its name to the nearby Hykje shieling, a well-preserved summer pasture farm passed on the trail up from Klitten. The south-facing slope also mixes southern warmth-loving plants with northern species such as wood anemone and alpine milk vetch.
