The Söderåsen national park is just a part of the geographic area called Söderåsen. The Söderåsen ridge is roughly 30 kilometers long and spans from Röstånga in the southeast to Åstorp in the northwest.
The dramatic and diverse landscape can be experienced also outside the national park borders and there are several other nature areas nearby to enjoy and discover. We have listed a couple of nature reserves and further below some recreational areas not far from Söderåsen.
There is a folder for you to down load, or visit the visitor centre to pick up a copy.
Klöva Hallar nature reserve
A smaller and calmer version of Skäralid, complete with talus slopes, gorges and steep cliffs. The Klövabäcken stream meanders through the gorge and lush deciduous forest is growing both in the gorge and on the above plateaus.
There is an area with restricted access, near one of the cliffs during part of the year (March 1st – July 31st). Please look out for signs and respect the restrictions.
A section of the Skåneleden trail goes through the nature reserve and there is also a trail, marked with yellow. The trail is 5 kilometres but currently not marked on the map. The trail is circular.
There are barbecue areas in Krika skog and by the shelter in the gorge.
There are two parking areas to the nature reserve. One in the northwest and one in southeast.

Vedby recreational area
In Vedby there is an unusually high number of tree species and this is the place for those interested in learning more about trees. There are several well marked trails here.
Along the tree trail, for example, you will meet spruce trees which smell of oranges and conifers which drop their needles in the autumn.
In the hilly landscape alternate beech and conifer forests grow. Vedby has for a very long time been a small-scale agricultural landscape and there are plenty of traces and remnants of fields and agricultural heaps/stone cairns.

On the southern hills of the Söderåsen ridge lies the recreation area of Finnstorp, an easily accessible area and a popular destination since the turn of the century.
Here, you will find varying landscapes with beech trees, areas of planted spruce and two ponds created in a previous alder bog.
A perfect small area for a daytrip or shorter walks.

Klåveröd recreational area
The Klåveröd nature and recreational area lies just northwest of Söderåsen national park.
Within the area there are several marked hiking trails (1-5 kilometers) as well as designated MTB trails.
Within the leisure area there are also nature reserves, for example Traneröds mosse. In nature reserves different rules apply and it is important that you know in which area you are, and what you are allowed to do there.
The nature in Klåveröd is varied, with different kinds of forests, boulders, cliffs and crevices. It's possible to drive all the way up to the beautiful Klåveröd pond, where there are barbecue areas, tables and toilets. Some of the hiking trails can be reached from here.
