A unique guided hike in Buxåsen Nature Reserve focusing on sustainable forestry, herbal schnapps, and local delicacies from Dalsland.
Join us for a unique guided hike in Buxåsen Nature Reserve, where we explore sustainable forestry and the art of infusing schnapps with ingredients from the wild. At a scenic viewpoint, we pause to taste carefully selected schnapps paired with Dalsland specialties: goat cheese from Buxåsen Goat Dairy, smoked beef from Eventorp Farm, and green pea soup topped with bleak roe (löjrom) from Lake Vänern.
Your guides are forest owner Paula Dahlqvist from Buxåsen Goat Dairy, and local guide Kerstin Aronsson from Kroppefjäll Snaps. Along the 3-kilometer hike, we stop to examine the forest's conditions for sustainable management and the unique regulations of a nature reserve. These stops are "seasoned" with tips on which plants and berries can be transformed into sparkling schnapps gems, crafted to create new flavor experiences when paired with food. The hike concludes with a visit to the goats at Buxåsen Goat Dairy.
- Learn about sustainable forestry and enjoy a unique nature experience led by local experts.
- Enjoy Dalsland delicacies served alongside selected artisanal schnapps.
- Visit the goats at Buxåsen Goat Dairy for a genuine insight into local food traditions.
Join this exclusive experience in a group of maximum 12 people (guided in Swedish). We will hike together in hilly terrain with roots and stones, so it is essential to wear sturdy boots or shoes suitable for forest terrain. We meet at the Buxåsen Nature Reserve parking lot before starting our tour.
