Granviksleden

It's easy to like Granviksleden, this varied

loop offers hilly and undulating forest trails,

viewpoints, grouse forests and forest lakes.

Pack your backpack, put on your hiking boots and enjoy

the stillness and silence of the forest.

Granviksleden is about 5 kilometers and winds through beautiful and

hilly terrain. The difficulty level is above medium so be prepared

for some steep climbs. There is no point in rushing through

the landscape and expect at least 2.5 hours of hiking.

The trail starts from Granvik Visitor Center. The first part is

not marked, but you can find Granviksleden by following the

orange-marked Västra Vätterleden south towards the harbor and

further up on Valekleven where the trail splits and you follow blue

markings. Alternatively, you can start the trail at the old school in

Granvik (Tivedens Vandrarhem) or connect via Stora Ormahålan in

the Stora Fjället nature reserve.

Granviksleden is also called "the three lakes hike". Here you pass

Yttersjön, Stora Ormahålan and Blanksjön - three mysterious

forest lakes beautifully framed by rocky outcrops, scrub oak and ancient

pines.
