Rövarekulan, Nature reserve in Skåne, Sweden

Rövarekulan is a nature reserve in Höör Municipality, Skåne, covering about 2.5 km of the Bråån valley and ravine. Steep slopes up to 20 metres high are wooded with beech, and an old stone vault bridge crosses the stream. The valley floor holds calcareous fens and damp meadows.

The name Rövarekulan refers to robbers who once ambushed travellers on the nearby road. Crown Prince Oscar, later Oscar I, visited the area, and a stone was raised in 1836 to mark the occasion. From the late 19th century until the early 1970s, a fairground with a dance floor and covered refreshment stand operated here, served by a railway stop called Rövarekulan.

From the late 19th century until the early 1970s a fairground with a dance floor and covered serving area stood here, hosting theatre and Pentecost celebrations that crowned Skåne's summer girl.

Access is from the E22 at Rolsberga, towards Löberöd; after about 2 km a gravel road on the left leads down to the reserve's parking area, which has a rest spot with tables. Skåneleden long-distance trail crosses the reserve, and an overnight camp lies at its edge. The slopes reach up to 20 m and are steep, so the paths are uneven underfoot.

The name Rövarekulan is said to come from robbers who once ambushed travellers on the nearby road. A stone was raised in 1836 to mark a visit by Crown Prince Oscar, later Oscar I. Look for the old stone vault bridge over Bråån, restored in the early 1960s by contractor Gunnar Nilsson of Sjöbo.
