Description

The Gimo Damm Walk is an easy-to-walk part of The Uppland Trail which takes you around the Gimo Damm Pond. You can choose to start at Gimo Herrgård Manor or at the beach by the southeast end of the pond.
The hike mainly uses forest roads, normally with no traffic, but also paths through forests and across clear-cut areas. There are many places where you can take a break by the water and check out the pond and its bird life. There are rest spots with wind shelters and fireplaces at the northwestern and northeastern parts of the lake, as well as two barbecue spots on the western and eastern sides. If you’re here in the summer, you can finish with a swim at the lovely beach.

Difficulty level: Easy, half on roads or gravel roads, and half on easy-to-walk forest paths.
