The Småland forest around Borgen is a mushroom paradise. Those who walk slowly enough will find a surprising variety along the roadside. Especially after rainy days, mushrooms of all shapes and sizes sprout from moss and deadwood. Keep your eyes open while hiking. The route partly leads through untouched forest sections that are rarely visited off the MTB trails.

Relaxed forest cruising or a technical Swedish Championship course with drops, rock gardens and a long stenkista. Plus, pump track, enduro trails and downhill lift in summer. Covered barbecue areas and a bike wash station right at the car park make for a pleasant finish. Everything is reachable from Värnamo centre in just a few minutes.

Hidden gem in the Borgen trail network. This small forest pond is located off the marked MTB trails and offers a quiet breather amidst the hilly Småland forest. Especially still and atmospheric in the early morning hours or after rain

This is at the same time a bench and a statue, where you can stop during your activity to relax a bit.

If you want to ride a normal bike, you shouldn't be here. I can handle my gravel bike, but the part on the planks is not suitable for it, also not with regard to other users.

The southern parking lot of the reserve, from where you can access the Lönekullastigen trail, is rather unspectacular, while the northern part of the reserve is more beautiful. Space for only about three vehicles.

A lovely little café with everything your heart desires. Quaintly furnished, grandma's old coffee cups are used here.
