Tips from the Community
Part of a largely natural drinking water treatment process. The water is pumped from the Lygnern (inland lake) from a depth of around 20 m to the surface so that it is mixed with air and the aerobic bacteria can break down fungi, other bacteria and pollutants, and so that the water can seep into the sand. On its journey to the groundwater, which takes around two months, it is naturally filtered through the layers of sand. It is then pumped back up together with the natural groundwater and bacteria and other germs are killed with UV light. Finally, the water is fed into the drinking water network. What you can see here is the part when the water from the lake comes to the surface, is mixed with air and seeps into the ground.

Naturum Visitor Center. Here you will find a café, a souvenir shop and a small, lovingly designed exhibition on the topic of local nature, history and lifestyle. Here, the bridge is built from the Stone Age through the Bronze, Iron and Viking Ages to the last century. The exhibition is free of charge.

Li gravfält. This is the largest Iron Age burial ground in Halland. In Northern Europe, the Iron Age lasted from about 750 BC to 1025 AD, and thus also included the Viking period, which lasted from 516 AD to 1209 AD. Today, over a hundred erected stones and a good forty prehistoric stones remain.

The Frodestenen is an almost 5 meter high vertical stone. It belongs to the burial ground of Li, which is the largest burial ground in the Swedish province of Halland. The stone, also known as Kung Frode's Sten (King Frode's Stone), got its name because according to legend, the Danish King Frode (6th century) was buried here after he fell in Halland. It has long been proven that this is not the course of history, but the name has stuck.

I can not say exactly what is being exhibited here. Coffee, cake and soup were more important to me. Clean toilets, fresh water (also outside the opening times), in the parking lot a public toilet. On the nearby lake Lygern you can swim and also camp (everybody's rights)
