Högbo bruk-Medskogssjön, Gästrikeleden etapp 3

Stage 3 of the Gästrikeleden trail offers a varied and accessible hike between the well-known outdoor area Högbo bruk and Medskogssjöns camping. The trail starts with prepared and wide paths at Högbo Mill, where it shares a route with some of Högbo's cycle tracks, which it occasionally deviates from and meanders on in its own direction.

At Långsjön you can almost touch the water when you walk.

The walk is largely through open pine forests, where the light filters down between the crowns of the trees and creates a soothing atmosphere. You pass the rest huts Norrvallen and Rosenbergsstugan, where you can have a nice break. Further on, the trail follows the lakeshore of the elongated Långsjön lake - a beautiful stretch that offers tranquillity and perhaps invites you to take a dip!

Both at the start and finish points there are good opportunities for recovery and activities. Högbo Bruk offers restaurants, accommodation and a rich outdoor life, while Medskogssjöns camping attracts with a swimming area, accommodation and easy access to nature. This stage is suitable for both day hikers and those who want to take it at a slower pace with an overnight stay. You can get between Medskogssjön and Högbo Bruk with X-trafik's line 44.
