Description

The trail takes you past places that hark back to the days of mining and timber floating. Nybergskällan, with its radioactive water, was in the past said to have been a health spa. The trail also passes a number of outstanding nature reserves. If you can, take the opportunity to bathe in Lake Lillsjön, the best wilderness bathing spot in Kilsbergen, Discover the Lekebergslagen mining area, where mining took place between the 16th century and 19th century. Lekhytteklint, with a view across the Närke plain, was previously the site of aircraft warning towers, the foundations of which still remain today. Our resting place is beside the gushing waters of the Lillsjöbäcken river, where you will find a wind shelter, fireplace and toilet. There are also wind shelters at Sixtorp and Stenbäcken.
