Den magiske skogen is an atmospheric forest area with around 50 boulders. It lays about 5 minutes drive from Stangebleau. The boulders are spread throughout the woodland, offering a quiet and natural climbing experience. Several well-worn paths run through the forest and lead to most of the boulders, making access relatively smooth and easy to navigate.
The history of bouldering in the Stange area is relatively recent, with development beginning in 2006. The first boulder problem established in the region was Krøllesteinen, which marked the start of what would later become one of the most important bouldering destinations in Innlandet.
Today, Stangebleau is the best-known and most frequently visited area, offering more than 200 boulder problems on high-quality rock. Its compact layout, easy access, and wide range of grades have made it a favourite destination for both local climbers and visitors from across Norway.
In addition to Stangebleau, several other smaller bouldering areas can be found within a 5–20 minute drive. Among the most notable are Den magiske skogen, one of the larger sectors only 3 minutes from Stangebleau, as well as Sothaugen/Vallset hill and Hueco Tangen. Together, these areas create a diverse bouldering destination with plenty of possibilities for exploration and new ascents.
