During 2020 we have marked all our hiking path direction poles and other important places in the national park with a rescue point number. The number is place specific and has coordinates associated with the number. 

The rescue points are part of a joint collaboration with the Rescue services and Söderåsen national park. The aim is to improve safety for visitors to the national park with coordinated and quicker response if an emergency should occur.

If an accident should happen while hiking you should know what rescue point number you are closest to. This will help the rescue services to locate you.
