The Hunneberg Ecopark: Forests, lakes and much "sea"

The path indicated on the Komoot Map leads over several steep, wobbly ladders up the cliff, along a small stream of water if it has been rainy. Good shoes are a must and some scrambling experience is quite helpful. Do not attempt to go up or down if it is/has been freezing! Up is easier than down, definetly dangerous for small kids, so plan accordingly. Very close to Skäktefallet, which is always worth a visit

Fantastic hiking trail to the pulpit in Hallesnipen, Halle-Hunneberg Plateau nature reserve, near Vargön, Västra Götaland.

The rock formation over which the waterfall falls down looks amazing. At Midsummer, the bushes and trees around the waterfall were so dense and tall that the view of the waterfall was very limited.
