Description


Hoverberget
The tourist attraction called the Hoverberg Cave (Hoverbergsgrottan) is170 m (560 ft) deep, and is the largest rock cave in Scandinavia.[4] It was discovered 1897 by Jöns Väst, a Swedish-American.[5] 81 m (266 ft) of the cave is accessible to visitors. Less known is the Fissure (Rämnan), a large ravine in the mountain with a length of about 400 m (1,300 ft)[6] and a depth of about 25 m (82 ft), that is visible from the west and even from the county highway (länsväg) 321. According to a folk tale, a giant called the Old Man of Hoverberg Lad (Hoverbergsgubben) resided in the cave, but he moved out when people began to tidy the cave.[5]
