Göljan, Gårdsjön and Trolldalen

North of Ånnaboda the Göljebäcken stream runs down from Kilsbergen. Göljestigen follows it past Skinnarsågsfallet, the highest waterfall in Kilsbergen, and a field of beach boulders about 10,000 years old.

At Gårdsjötorp the Gårdsjön loop starts, 7 km with a view of the lake almost all the way, and the short Lilla Gårdsjö loop. In the same forest is the Reservatslingan loop, 10 km through the Trolldalen, Vargkitteln and Lövbrickan nature reserves. Trollgrytan, a giant’s kettle, is in Trolldalen.

Good to know

  • Skinnarsågsfallet, the highest waterfall in Kilsbergen, comes after just over two kilometres. It formed when the dam at Stora Dammsjön burst.
  • The boulder field is about 10,000 years old. The stones can be slippery when wet.
