Hindens Rev
The narrow peninsula is about five kilometers long and never wider than 100 meters, usually significantly narrower. Its highest elevation over the level of lake Vänern is 21 meters. Hindens Rev is highest by the mainland, and lowers gradually until it submerges after five kilometers. The formation continues under water as a series of reefs. At high tide its extreme point becomes five small island called Killingarna ("the [goat] Kids"). The moraine reappears twelve kilometers away on the western shore of Vänern, where it is known as Hjortens udde.
In addition to pines, rowans, birches and aspens grow on Hindens Rev. Several protected plant species also grow there. Hindens Rev is a nature reserve classed as riksintresse for nature conservation and outdoors activities. Hindens Rev is a popular destination for picnickers and tourists, offering hiking, fishing and birding opportunities in summer and tour skating in winter.
