Rövarekulan, Nature reserve in Skåne, Sweden
Rövarekulan is a nature reserve in Skåne featuring forests, wetlands, and rocky outcrops along the Bråån river. The landscape supports around 400 types of vascular plants and is crossed by a stone bridge built in the 1800s.
The ravine formed roughly 14,000 years ago when glaciers melted and shaped the landscape. This geological process created the conditions for rare orchid species and thick-shelled river mussels that still inhabit the area today.
Memorial stones within the reserve mark a royal visit from the 1800s, while a rune stone emerged from demolition of an old dance floor. These artifacts reflect how local people have gathered and lived in this landscape over time.
The reserve has maintained hiking trails with marked rest areas, fire pits, and parking available. Visitors can easily navigate the marked paths and use the facilities to enjoy the landscape comfortably.
A rune stone became visible after an old dance floor was demolished, revealing an unexpected archaeological layer. This discovery shows that people gathered here across generations, long before the area became protected.
