Kaseboleden trail
Most trails start at Kasebo on the Kynnefjäll plateau. Some of the trails connect to the Bohusleden trail. And information board is available in the car park. The walkway from the car park to the windbreak and the barbecue area by little Lake Holmevattnet are accessible to everyone. Kasebo resort, located northeast of the Vaktarekullen summit, is an important connection point when hiking on the Kaseboleden trail.
The Bohuslän inland is quite underrated. The Kynnefjäll plateau is a good example of this. It is a nature reserve and a Natura 2000 area between the Bullaresjöarna lakes in the west and the Örekilsälven valley in the east. Just like Lake Raslången, which lies in the southern counties of Scania and Blekinge, this area beckons to lovers of camp life, hiking and canoeing. However, the landscape is barren. Nutrient-poor forest lakes, surrounded by pine and birch trees, are the hallmark of Kynnefjäll.
Kynnefjäll has an interesting forest history. On the county administrative board’s website, among other things, you can read how the land was almost unforested during the 18th and 19th centuries. At that time was it was subject to grazing and “slash and burn” farming, and its distinctive features were heather moors, bogs and a rocky terrain. During the late 19th and early 20th centuries, the land was forested by way of self-seeding or planting.
During the same period, Kynnefjäll was colonised by crofters and cottagers, and today there are over three hundred known croft facilities. Only a few croft environments have been preserved, including those at Östra Fjället, Västra Fjället and Kasebo.
