In the heart of the Platåbergens Geopark

 

Varnhem is located in the middle of an area with unique nature and rich natural experiences. The Vallebygden countryside stretches out north of Varnhem and offers hiking trails, forest lakes, waterfalls, and nature reserves.

Varnhem and Valle are also located in the middle of the Platåbergen Geopark - Sweden's first UNESCO Global Geopark, which means that the table mountain landscape is a landscape with geological sites of international importance - something that is considered unique in the world and affects the area around us more than we think.
