Kolmård Forest

Kolmård Forest lies on the boundary between Södermanland and Östergötland, to the north of the long inlet of Bråvik. This well-wooded upland region extends for some 100km/60mi from west to east. The rocks are mainly reddish gneiss, together with some red and black granite. Stone from here was used in the construction of the Parliament Building in Stockholm in the 19th century.
