The nature
Tisselskog Nature Reserve is set in the beautiful cultural landscape in Högsbyn on a peninsula in Lake Råvarpen. The sloping species-rich hay meadow is located in a sunlit position on the Dalformation. The formation is the remains of a mountain chain that was formed on the bottom of a
shallow sea more than one billion years ago. The calcareous rock consists of chlorite and shale and supports a rich flora. The area is easy to access both from land and water, since Lake Råvarpen is part of the lake system of the Dalsland canal.
