Here in the Valle area we are not modest – the area is marketed as “Vallevägen - the world's most beautiful road”. Roughly 20 small business owners have joined forces to highlight the area's assets and resources. This involves both artists, producers, traders and B&B’s. The nature in the area is characterized by the kame landscape with its rolling hills. This type of landscape is considered unique in the world - it was formed when the inland ice retreated. There are over 60 km of hiking trails, and the area is known for all the tens of thousands cherry trees that blossom here during May.
Hildur and Sven Wingquist’s Foundation for Forestry Research built five arboreta on Remningstorp in the years 1936-1938. Arboretum number 1 is a real treasure, containing many different tree species of diverse origin. Some examples are sawara cypress, Chinese sequoia, Japanese magnolia, hiba, silver maple, katsura, Western American hemlock, Japanese walnut, Kamchatka birch, ginkgo, red-leaved sycamore, a number of cryptomeria and several species of spruce, pine and larch. More information on-site.
One tip is to follow the trail on to Bockön which is a small headland on Lake Acksjön. Around the headland, large old oaks grow in a ring. You will also find a grill spot with a great view – just made for a snack break.
