Stora Stenbrottet (Kinnekulle Quarry)

Highlight • Structure

Stora Stenbrottet at Kinnekulle is one of the area's most popular attractions and is nicknamed the "mini Grand Canyon" by locals. It is a 40 meter deep former limestone quarry. The lower layers of limestone are 400 million years old and the tones of the stone layers and the beautiful setting have made the quarry one of Kinnekulle's most popular spots. In addition to the fantastic view and surroundings, there is also a small fishing lake in the middle of the quarry.

Kinnekulle Observation Tower

Highlight • Viewpoint

The observation tower itself is 19 meters high. However, due to its elevated position on Kinnekulle hill, it towers 276 meters above Sweden's largest lake. On a clear day, you can enjoy a view stretching 80 to 90 kilometers – across Lake Vänern to Skoghall and Karlstad, and over the entire Värmland peninsula.
