Damp deciduous forest near water

Möllerödssjö
In the Möllerödssjö recreation area, the lake is the center point - whether you want to swim, fish, look for birds or take a walk or just have a coffee. Find out about Stiftelsen Skånska Landskap's marked hiking trails, observation towers, barbecue areas and other amenities in the area. If you want to train, there is also an electric light track in Möllerödssjö. Along the lake you will encounter moist deciduous forest with open water surfaces. Otherwise, the beech forest dominates the area and in the spring the slopes are lit up by white sedges. Note! During v 24-26, the western P is closed due to forest work. Use the northern P instead.
Do and experience
Hike & walk
The hiking trails are relatively short, but cross each other so that it is possible to hike longer. The electric light track has a smooth ground if you want to walk with a pram. For the curious, there is a cultural trail that brings the area's history to life. See digital map at the bottom of the page or download map here.

Grazed land then and now along the Cultural Trail
Along what was once a cattle street, cows now graze in the summer. The area has been a poor farming community and the lands around Möllerödssjö have been cultivated or grazed for a long time. If you follow the Kulturstigen, you pass both fägatan and the remains of several crofts, named after crofters who once lived here. The stone-walled farms that can still be seen today were enclosures for the fields, so that the animals would not get at the crops. The animals, on the other hand, roamed freely in the outback. Fägatan just west of Danska Hemmanet is clearly visible and here the cows were driven out into the pastures from the farm. In Möllerödssjö there are also visible remains of pig sheds. The pig was let out to graze in the beech forests and ate fat on beech cones.
See farm with ancient origins
The farm Lilla Mölleröd, which is located in the north-eastern part of the area, had a handful of crofts under it. Three of them are next to the Kulturstigen. The crofters paid rent to the farm in the form of various day jobs and otherwise supported themselves on what their own plots of land and animals gave. One of the most prosperous crofts was Danska Hemmanet, named after a crofter who claimed descent from Denmark. In the middle of the 17th century, Lilla Mölleröd served as a residence for the Scanian cavalry, first as a corporal's residence and then as a sergeant's residence. In 1852 the house burned down. It was rebuilt, but burned down again in 1911 and was never rebuilt after that. Remnants of the foundation still remain.
Stones show the way
In the south there is a preserved five-stone cairn, which marked the parish or property boundary. That in Möllerödssjö is unusual as the upright stones remain. The stone in the middle is called the heart stone and it was common for the landowner to carve his initials or his house mark here. The four outer stones show in which direction new border markings can be expected in the vicinity
