The black loop is made for all-terrain wheelchairs. It is the only one of Björkeröd's accessible loops with long climbs and descents: past Mölle mosse it climbs onto the wooded high ground above the wetland, then comes back down to the start. You don't need a chair of your own, as an all-terrain wheelchair can be borrowed free of charge at Björkeröd. Allow about an hour.

It is the most challenging of the three loops. Länsstyrelsen, which manages the reserve, says you need to be fit or use a motorized wheelchair, and to be used to getting around in nature.

The route

All the loops start at the Björkeröd car park. From there the black loop follows the purple loop around the pasture to the Red trail and heads west on it through the beech forest to Mölle mosse, on the same stretch as the white loop. It rounds the western end of the wetland and follows the north shore back east, then climbs to the high ground, where it briefly shares the Blue trail and, in places, Kullaleden. After a stretch east along the top comes a long descent to the Red trail, which leads back to the pasture and the car park. Part of the loop is on service roads, but stones and boulders can stick up from the ground.

Along the way

Mölle mosse is the place to pause: in summer water lilies spread across the water, and newts live in the wetland. In early 2023 Länsstyrelsen blocked the ditches that drained it, raising the average water level by 20–40 centimeters. Walked in this direction, the loop puts its long climb right after the wetland and its long descent near the end.

Good to know

The all-terrain wheelchair is a four-wheel-drive electric Zoom Uphill, charged by solar panels. Borrowing it is free. Book it through Sportbanken, Höganäs municipality's lending service; the online booking needs a Swedish e-ID, so if you don't have one, contact the municipality. You then collect the chair from a storeroom at Björkeröd. Höganäs says the chair suits users with good upper-body function but limited use of their legs.

  • Dogson a leash all year in the reserve
  • Firegrills and camping stoves are allowed only at the grill site by the car park, and nothing may be lit during a strict fire ban
  • Finding the waythe loop is the black dotted line on the reserve's map of the accessible loops; in 2025 the loops got more even surfaces and clearer markings
  • Easier optionsthe 800 m purple loop and the 3 km white loop are much gentler. Naturum Kullaberg, 7 km away, has an accessible exhibition and toilet
