Walk in the footsteps of the pilgrims

Romboleden (Rombo Way) is a pilgrimage route that people began using in the 11th century. The Romboleden is Sweden’s longest pilgrimage route at 900 kilometres long. It starts in Köping in Västmanland and finishes in Trondheim on the Norwegian Atlantic coast. If you walk the entire trail, you will experience a beautiful and varied landscape. You will walk on old chalet paths, over mountains with magnificent vistas and along narrow country gravel roads. You will find easy one-day walks with cafés along the way, and long treks that take several days. The route often passes through small villages.

Thanks to the landowners - be considerate when hiking

The Rombo Trail runs largely through actively managed forest and agricultural land. Thanks to the generosity of landowners and the cooperation of volunteers, you will have the opportunity to walk through landscapes that would otherwise not be accessible.

As a hiker, it is important to remember that you are walking on someone else's land. Be considerate by sticking to the trail, avoiding disturbing animals, crops and work in progress. Leave nature as you found it - or even better.

Leave nothing but footprints along the trail.
