Description

Hiking trail of 6 km (northern stretch) which connects Gruvrundan in Sunne municipality, with Finnvägen in Fredros, Arvika municipality. In both regions the iron and copper mining have had great importance in 17 ͭ ͪ to the 19 ͭ ͪcenturies.

The trail goes along old forest roads, paths and gravel roads. At Övre Bruket there are some 15 remains of ironworks, a mill and housing. A small, shallow bathing cove lies around 200 meters from Övre Bruket at Lake Mången. It is a little off the trail, and has no designated area to sit down, but nice for a quick dip. At Övre Bruket there is a roofed bench table.

The southern stretch between the Sunne border and Fredros gives a circular route when combined with Finnvägen. The circular trail is approximately 8 km. Recommended starting point for this option is Gamla Fotbollsplanen, opposite of Övre Bruket.

Both Bruksleden and Finnvägen are marked with orange on trees or posts. Duck boards were installed in 2023, most with anti-slip net.

Map and trail description are available for download under Documents. Map signs will be put up in spring 2024.

Please note! The map indicates starting point and parking space at Treen Camp ground, which will initiated by spring 2024.

There is normally mobile coverage throughout the trail.
