A landslide cave with galleries and halls formed at the intersection of two rift valley systems. In Värmland there are no caves in the sense of rock shelters, i.e. that the cave has been hollowed out from the mountain. Rich flora along the brook from Dammtjärn. According to the legend, the cave is the entrance to the castle of the giants Bergdöse and Bergkulla. The farm neighboring the cave is Tomta, and when they lent their kettle to Bergkullan, they got it back filled with the giants' power drink. Thanks to this they finished the hay making in three days instead of three weeks. All in Gylterud are said to be related to Bergdöse – and just as strong!
NOTE! Due to heavy rainfall, the road is impassable during the summer of 2024.
Gylterudsgrottan
Gylterud Tomta, 67196 Mangskog
South of Mangskog on the west side of lake Mangen.
A wooden fingerpost points out the exit to Gylterudsgrottan from the road from Arvika just before one enters Mangskog. From there it is well marked. One must walk the last 400-500 m by foot. The last part is stony.
