About Vedema
Vedema is a woodland area. Shady spruce woodland, some pine woodland but also some dry beech woodlands and damp deciduous woodland. The River Rökeån winds along the valley floor and the vegetation is almost tropical. It is a hilly landscape with steep slopes. You can get a breathtaking view from the top of Vedema Hall. When the snow settles you can go full speed down the sledding slope.
Do and experience
Walking and rambling
There are a handful of marked hiking trails in the area. The landscape is very hilly and the marked footpaths have not been adapted for wheelchairs or pushchairs. The road to Lake Barsjön from the western car park is however smooth and even, but somewhat hilly. Download the map over the Vedema recreation area with several hiking trails. The Skåneleden Trail also passes through the site.

Fishing is free in Lake Barsjön and the fishing platform is easily accessible. Fishing is however not permitted in the River Rökeån.
