Mela kyrkskog Nature Reserve is a beautiful 105-hectare protected forested wilderness that separates the Lower and Upper Glottern lakes. The hub of the reserve revolves around Mela Farm, which was historically a crossroads for both foot- and water-borne traffic. There is a wind shelter here along with a fire pit and several areas for wild camping. The Östgötaleden trail cuts directly through the reserve.
