Sörboleden

Sörboleden starts at Dalakvarn on the outskirts of Lundsbrunn. The path enters a deep ravine that was formed after the end of the Ice Age when a large landslide occurred. The running water has since widened the gorge. On the hike, you have to cross the river several times on small bridges. The nature is untouched and the vegetation is rich. For example, gray alder and ostrich fern, yellow sword lily and goldenrod grow here.

At Sörbo, two springs emerge from the slope, one with ferrous water. The last half of the trail goes through mixed forest and coniferous forest back to Dala. Net-covered boards, new bridges and stairs make the trail easier and more attractive to walk. It is an exciting hike for both young and old with the rippling river winding along the trail. The hike is relatively easy with the exception of a couple of uphill climbs to get out of the ravine.

Dalakvarn is located on the southern outskirts of Lundsbrunn. There has been a mill here since the 16th century, when it was located on the outskirts of a village, Dala by. From the 17th to the mid-19th century, the mill belonged to Mariedal and then to Lund (now Stora Lund). A new era in the mill's history began in 1885, when Emmanuel Svensson bought the mill area with land, ponds and houses. He had the large mill building built, which still stands by the Dala River. For over a hundred years the mill remained in the family. The last millers were Ragnar and Olof Ahlin, who both died in March 1990.
