Stora Fjället rundan

Stora Fjälletrundan has become a classic

among the trails in the area. It combines cultural and historical

environments, rocky pine forest and dark forest lakes on

an exciting way. So fill up your thermos and get going with

hiking boots and set off on a beautiful trip!

The trail passes through the heart of the Stora Fjället nature reserve

and you can easily connect to several other trails if you want to build

on your hike. You will pass traces of crofting life, old

cellars and house foundations, shimmering green spruce forest, and fragrant

rocky pine forest. Occasionally you will pass small lakes and ponds,

or tärnar as we call them here in Tiveden. In the area there are many

old lying trees, so-called dead wood. These are still full of life

as they have become home to fungi, lichens, mosses and caterpillars. The forest is so

much more than the trees. It is a wealth of species, smells, sounds, light and life.

The easiest way to reach Stora Fjälletrundan is to park at Stora

Ormahålan or Tingsjöarna. The terrain is relatively hilly and

some parts are quite steep, which means that the difficulty

slightly above average. At the lake Stora Ormahålan there is a small

shelter and barbecue area.
