Glotternskogen is a piece of true wilderness in the middle of Östergötland. Primeval Kolmård forest with mighty boulders, enchanted paths right on the lake shore. The combination of old coniferous forest nature, lake access, barbecue areas and bookable sauna makes the reserve interesting and unique.

The bay Syraksviken is one of the most beautiful resting places along the Glotternleden. A quiet spot right by the lake shore with a fireplace, surrounded by ancient Kolmård forest. For a longer break with a view of the water.

Mela kyrkskog Nature Reserve is a beautiful 105-hectare protected forested wilderness that separates the Lower and Upper Glottern lakes. The hub of the reserve revolves around Mela Farm, which was historically a crossroads for both foot- and water-borne traffic. There is a wind shelter here along with a fire pit and several areas for wild camping. The Östgötaleden trail cuts directly through the reserve.

The landscape of the Lower Glottern is absolutely beautiful. The lake is famous for its exceptionally clear water and sandy beaches. Along with this, the tranquillity of the forest just adds to the ambience. No wonder it is so popular for hiking, swimming, and fishing.

The stairs described are no longer there. There is just a rope on the wall to hold on to.
