Description of clockwise direction
A duck board passage through mixed forest, leads you to the circular trail around the tarn. Already from the start you find many different types of plants who thrive in and around mires, such as Heath Spotted Orchid, cloudberries, cranberries, etc.

Reaching the tarn Stenstjärnet, the circular trail starts and follows the shore straight south through pine forest. At the south end of the tarn you see the vast mire Sundsmossen to the southeast.

Going west, there is a slight increase in altitude and the trail goes north on a ridge, taking you inbetween the two tarns Stenstjärnet and Abborrtjärnet west of you. Crossing the stream between them, you might want to leave the trail for a peak at Abborrtjärnet.

Once back on the trail, you head north. If visiting the area in June-July, the purple marshlock and tufted loosestrife are normally in bloom. After another duck board passage across the mire Stenstjärnsdulpan the trail leads to the spacious wind break by the northern shore of the tarn, with a stunning view.
