Experience Skinnskatteberg 2019

Nature Reserve
We have more than 15 nature reserves that are worth visiting in Skinnskatteberg.
More info about all of our nature reserves are available www.lansstyrelsen.se/Vastmanland
Otherwise, we suggest downloading their app Västmanlands Naturkarta.
Matkullen
North of Baggbron (access
also from road 233 in
Baggå) and follow the
orange trail blazes to
Västmanlands highest
point, also part of Matkullen
Nature Reserve. A view
over Baggå valley awaits
at the end of this trail.
Vargberget
At ‘Wolf Mountain’ there
are old forests with ancient
pines and knotty red-berried
Rowan trees as well as
aspens. The terrain is varied
with heights and steep
mountain slopes. Here
and there, rock boulders
and rock cliffs overlook the
green moss. In summer
or autumn it is easy to fill
a basket with berries or
mushrooms.
Lappland
The Lapland Nature Reserve
is a mosaic of open
marshes, barren pine fields
and exposed mountain
hills. The landscape and
species are reminiscent
of Norther Scandinavia,
hence its name, and gives
a sense of unspoiled
wilderness.
Råmyran
Råmyran bog lies in a
depression in the hills
between Riddarhyttan and
Baggå. There is a fresh
water source here as well
as an old growth, wetland
forest. Ice age remnants
can be found on this trail.
A roughly 450 meter long
narrow path leads up to
Vargberget. At the top you
can sit down for a snack or
lunch and look out over the
view. Finish with a dip in
Örtjärn’s clear water. At the
lake shore there is also a
lean-to with barbecue area.
Canoe Adventure
Rent a canoe with any of the following local businesses:
Wild Sweden, Kolarbyn EcoLodge, Pensionat Udden B&B
in Baggbron or Liens Camping in Riddarhyttan.
Beaver dams are a common sight and seeing beavers in
their natural habitat is very likely at dawn and dusk.
