Description
The 7-torps trail in Lekvattnet has a long history. The trail mainly follows old paths created by the Forest Finns. The trail passes seven crofts, all with forest Finnish origin. You cross the national border between Norway and Sweden. Two crofts are located on the Norwegian side of the border. During the Second World War, the trails were also used as a refugee route from Norway. Ritamäki farm is probably the best preserved Finnish farmhouse in Finnskogen. The Ritamäki meadow is managed and protected as a nature reserve.
Dog owners are advised that special rules apply for bringing their dogs to Norway.

Fin vandringsled i vackra Finnskogen. Perfekt led även för barnen och tillgång till många vackra rastplatser om mm vill slå sig ner en stund.
