=============

Söderåsen National Park was formed in 2001 and extends over 1,625 hectares and the nature is varied, featuring lush deciduous forests, impressive talus slopes with high cliffs, flowing streams and panoramic views. The long, deep fissure valley by Skäralid is especially frequented. It is a rift valley of immense scope with perpendicular cliffs that envelope the Skärån river running along the bottom. Other impressive sites are Odensjön lake in the Nackarpsdalen valley as well as the vantage points of Kopparhatten, Hjortsprånget and Lierna along the Skäralidsdalen valley.

The National Park offers many different types of experiences. You can sit and relax by the lake or go for a adventurous walk with a guided trail.

In the park there is a visitor centre with exhibition in Skäralids naturum and a restaurant where you can enjoy good, near-produced food. The main entrance at Skäralid is by car from Röstånga or Ljungbyhed.

In the national park you can also grill and camp*
