Good to know
Parking
There are several car parks at Ånnaboda, and parking close to the routes at Gårdsjötorp and at Blankhult school.
Right of public access and the reserves
Ånnaboda and several of the areas along the trails are nature reserves and Natura 2000 sites. Follow the reserve rules on the signs, stay on the trails and take everything you bring back out.
Firing ranges
The western and north-western parts of Kilsbergen are owned by Bofors Test Center and the Swedish Fortifications Agency, and the Armed Forces train there, so you sometimes hear bangs. The municipality’s maps show the ranges west of Ånnaboda and Gårdsjön. Follow the signs and keep out of closed areas.
