Stora Alvarleden

Karlevi - Frösslunda - Stenåsavägen

The trail follows an old road across the alvar. It is not prepared but runs over existing land, which means that the road is of a very simple standard. If you bring a bicycle, it may need to be guided in places. After snowmelt or heavy rain, some parts may be sandy. The route is marked with small limestone cairns and has been provided with cycle racks at walls and fences over which the bicycle can be guided. In Karlevi, by road 136, a blue and white cycling and hiking trail sign shows the way out to the alvar. There is a small grassy area with space for a few cars. From here the trail follows the old alvar road, the first part of which passes through Karlevi South Nature Reserve. Along the trail is the Präströr rock formation and shortly afterwards you reach the middle wall, a stone wall that stretches from the north to the south of the Great Alvar. From Källarbacken, just west of the village of Frösslunda, the trail runs largely on limestone chippings and at the large stone gateposts the trail splits and the rocky hiking trail continues south towards Örnkullen and Gösslunda. By bicycle, you continue southwest and soon reach Resmo-Stenåsavägen.
