Östdanmark short hiking trail

Hiking trail with history

The name comes from the old Danish-Swedish border that the trail follows. Until 1645 and the Peace of Brömsebro, Skåne and most of Halland belonged to Denmark. Then the border here was at Älvsered. The oldest border between Sweden and Denmark is thought to have been established around 1050. Danabäck's stone may be one of the six stones that marked the border at that time. Six men from Sweden and six from Denmark traveled along the border and selected stones with a strange appearance that would be easy to recognize. Along the trail, 35 signs tell the story of the place.

In the middle of nature

You will follow both roads and paths but also footbridges over wetlands. A tip is to wear proper boots or boots. You will walk through varied nature with large forests, streams, lakes and bogs. The paths are easy to follow, with markings at regular intervals. There are two shelters and a barbecue area along the way.
