Beautiful Alvar landscape.The path follows small ridgestones and plateaus mainly across limestone rocks. After the snowy season or significant rainful the trail can become waterlogged.

The nature reserves of Northern Karlevi Alvar and Southern Karlevi Alvar are part of the vast Great Alvar. The plants and animals found here live a hard life. They are forced to endure grazing, sun, wind, rain and frost.

This route goes across Öland from coast to coast right through the nature reserve. It's worth stopping and taking a short hike.

Sturdy shoes are required as the path is often rocky and, depending on the weather, also damp.
