Södra Vätterleden

Welcome to an exciting hike along the beautiful shores of Lake Stråken. In addition to the beautiful lake and forest landscape, you will pass a very rich cultural landscape with the ancient Ryfors Bruk, a large number of ancient remains, as well as traces of prehistoric hiking trails. The area's easy-to-walk sandy plateaus with gently rolling ridges are ideal for hiking. The stage works well as a longer full-day trip, or a quieter two-day hike and can also be combined with connecting trails. This stage is also part of the Småland Trail.

Trail description with map is available at Mullsjö Infocenter, or www.skaraborgsleder.se.
