The coastal road between Byxelkrok and Hagskog

The road between Byxelkrok and Hagskog on northwestern Öland is part of the long road that you can follow along the coast. Here the road winds its way through a varied agricultural landscape with grazed alvar lands and deciduous forest. In the southern part, the road runs along the high cliff slope where you have an impressive view of Kalmarsund and Blå Jungfrun. In close proximity to the road there are several forest roads that turn east towards Böda kronopark. Along the road there are several cultural-historical monuments. At Toknäs there has been one of the more important harbours on the northwest coast of Öland. There are several solitary graves far out on the slope or immediately next to the road. Some of the graves have names, Stendansen and Rörstensudden at Hagskog are a couple of examples.
