Långdistansvandring genom Arvika kommun

For those interested in hiking for an extended period, we’ve listed the hiking trails that are part of a trail network and continue well beyond the borders of Arvika Municipality.

The Western Värmland Pilgrimage Trail

The trail which goes through Arvika starts in the Lurö archipelago of Säffle, continues through Arvika and the border municipality Eda and further up to Trondheim in Norway. Connecting pilgrimage trails lead from the south side of Lake Vänern and east to Finland or south through Denmark to northern Germany. See maps and more info atPaxWalk.org.

Worth mentioning is also that preparations are already ongoing around the Nordic countries for the milennium of Saint Olav in 2030. Read more atsanktolof1000.seornasjonaljubileet2030.no.
