Ånnaboda, nature reserve in Örebro, Sweden
Ånnaboda is a nature reserve in Örebro Municipality featuring steep rocky cliffs, old pine forests, and several lakes. The area offers swimming spots at Ånnabosjön and Falkasjön, marked hiking trails, picnic areas, and fishing opportunities.
The area was used intensively for charcoal production and mining in the 17th and 19th centuries. After that period, the forest developed naturally and now contains trees over 100 years old that grew following this era of human activity.
The name Ånnaboda comes from the lakes that define the region. Visitors can see how the place is used today: people hike on trails, picnic by the water, and observe birds in a landscape that feels wild and natural.
The trails are well-maintained and accessible for strollers and wheelchairs, with parking available near the reserve. Buses serve the Ånnaboda stop, from which short walks lead to the main attractions like the lakes and hiking trails.
The site is part of the Natura 2000 network and is home to rare plants and animals requiring special protection. The Bergslagsleden hiking trail crosses through the reserve and connects it to larger routes for longer explorations.
