    Halle- & Hunneberg Ecopark is located at the Southern tip of lake Vänern in the Western Part of Götaland. The ecopark is situated in a landscape of pine, oak and hardwood trees and offers breathtaking views and a wealth of things to do. One of the main attractions of the area of Halle- & Hunneberg is the large number of elks living here. In19th century the elk population even became a threat to the pine plantations and that’s why King Oscar II announced the 1st Royal elk hunt in 1885 (the hunt does take place almost annualy down to the present day).
    Halle- & Hunneberg also is a popular recreational area frequented by both Swedish and foreign visitors. Signs, trails and marked paths lead you to various environments and points of interest in the park. Experience nature, exercise or pick wild berries and mushrooms.
    You can also find various 17th century cottage homesteads at the ecopark. Many of these have become overgrown by surrounding forest plantation; but around 10 of the cottages have been restored. There also are various prehistoric sites like stone settings and stone circles, especially at the South/ Western edge of Hunneberg.
    At the heart of Halleberg’s plateau lies a lake called Hallsjön, an excellent location for „put and take“ fishing. The most common fish at Hallsjön are: rainbow trout, brown trout, char, perch and pike. Other popular activities include elk-viewing safaris, bird watching and guided hikes.

    Fishing licences can be purchased at the „Fiske“ shop in Trollhättan and at the tourist agency in Vänersborg.
