Description

Mostly the trail follows an old forest road, past crofts and ruins of crofts. In wilderness spirit you walk through coniferous forests and as you climb in altitude you get a nice view of the surrounding landscape.

About 2 km north of Lafallhöjden, there is a beautiful place for a stop by Lake Ämten, just 300 m off the trail to the west.

Heading north east, about half ways along the trail you reach Kyrkstenen, possibly a glacial erratic block. Around the year 1900, it was used for sermons by a local preacher.

About 100 m south west of Jonstorpet there are signs pointing to the old mines Jägmästar- and Bockgruvan, situated a few hundred meters north and off the trail. Read more about them in the links below:

The trail continues on a stretch of gravel road and finally paths and moss clad roads through spruce forest up to Lövhöjden, with a soft altitude increase. At Lövhöjden the trail connects with Finnvägen, where you can choose to head on either south to Fredros or north to Bogen.
