In the middle of the nature reserve, just a few steps off the main path, a quiet, almost mystical place suddenly opens up: the former Stärnö quarry. Granite was once mined here – the typical reddish-gray stone used in many Swedish harbors and railway embankments. Today, nature has reclaimed the area. Moss grows over the smooth edges of the quarry, rainwater and dragonflies collect in the depressions, and the surrounding pines cast long shadows over the tranquil landscape. Between the mighty stone steps, you can still discover the remains of old drill holes and traces of processing – silent witnesses to hard work with the simplest of means. Those with alert eyes will discover an exciting chapter of Swedish industrial history, nestled in the tranquility of the forest. Tip: The quarry is an ideal place for a short break with a special flair – and a paradise for amateur photographers.

A steel gate built into a stone wall gives you access to a soldier's grave. The information board in front of it is in Swedish, so your translation skills are in demand.

Here you can visit a former bunker that was skilfully built into the grey rocky coast and is thus practically invisible.
