Description

These parts of Tiveden were once relatively densely populated. When people had to find their way to the village, it had to be on paths through the rugged terrain. These paths, called church paths, are often very old and have been maintained and improved, for example, by spanning the bogs. The Bergslagsleden trail follows one of these old church paths over Porsängsmossen, just east of Tivedstorp. Underneath and alongside the footbridge laid out for the trail, there are the remains of the old church path footbridge. Such old footbridges were made of longitudinal tree trunks that were laid down completely in the peat so as not to rot through contact with the air.
