Den korta Askaleden

In nature's own spiritual space, there is an opportunity for breathing and recreation with seating for rest, reflection and coffee. There's also a barbecue area for those who want to brighten up their hike with some sausage grilling. Along the trail there are four quote stones with thought-provoking words to ponder while strolling.

Askaleden consists of two trails. An easier trail that is 2 km long and relatively easy to walk and the slightly longer trail that is 4.2 km, which has a slightly more varied surface. Both trails start at the same place, at Asklunden with its forge trees, near the farm building at Lilla Aska griftegård (where there is a map to pick up), and then divide after about 1 km. The trail is marked with yellow-red posts and provided with various information signs.

Lilla Aska is located near Slaka community, about seven km southwest of central Linköping. Both trails start at the same place, at Asklunden with its forge trees, near the farm building at Lilla Aska griftegård. There are several parking facilities in the area, including in connection with Lilla Aska farm building and Ljusets chapel.
