Hike in the World Heritage, Bergstigen

The trail winds past lime kilns, loading docks, large slag heaps and other very powerful remains from the stone industry, which today have been enclosed in and become part of nature. Along the path, you can study the Linné Wall, which Carl von Linné visited in 1741. Right next to Kalmarsund is Södra bruket, which is a very well-preserved mill environment from the early 1800th century. Back then, alum production was in full swing here and you can see old workers' housing, the mill and the forge. In the undulating landscape among the mill ruins rises a tall chimney, visible from afar. Here there is an exhibition area and a geological garden. The hiking trail continues along the beach up Stora alvaret, passes an old beautiful limestone quarry and on to the large quarry that is still in operation.
