Kjugekull
The beautiful nature reserve called Kjugekull is one of the largest and best areas for bouldering in Sweden and includes right now 1169 different boulder problems and variations. The boulders are mostly big and round and are scattered in sparse beech wood and hilly paddocks. This constitutes a beautiful setting for the boulders and makes Kjugekull an extraordinary experience of nature. All sorts of problems are represented: low sit starts and high problems, delicate slabs and steep roofs, pumpy traverses and long dynos. The climbing is often technical and friction dependant and rarely very steep. You can climb on Kjugekull almost all year around. The best conditions generally occur in September, October, November and February, March, April. The boulders normally dry quickly after rain, especially those in the meadows.
Notice that there is no camping allowed on Kjugekull, but on the island of Ivön north-east of Kjugekull lies Ivö Camping where you can camp or rent a cabin all year around. A toilet is located close to the café, west of the meadow. The nearest grocery store is in Fjälkinge.
Torsebro
Torsebro is a small, relatively newly developed boulder which right now includes 110 boulder problems and variations. The concentration of boulders is less than that of Kjugekull, but most of the boulders are big (some really big) and both the rock and most of the problems are of high quality. The boulders lie with a few exceptions very freely in a sparse beech forest, and everything dries quickly after rain. You can camp in the forest and the nearest grocery store is in Färlöv.
Hultastenen
The boulder Hultastenen is a very large erratic boulder lying all by itself in an enclosed field. The dramatic shape of the boulder with overhanging sides and a large roof, offers several fine problems and projects. The climbing includes everything from long slab problems to steep sit starts, from low traverses to high, breathtaking problems. There is something for everyone and a visit to the boulder is highly recommended.
Norra Strö-stenen
The boulder Norra Strö-stenen is smaller than Hultastenen and it does not offer as many problems. Here is also potential for a number of nice, new problems and a stop on the way to or from Hultastenen is recommended. |
