Sotar Blixtleden

Varying surfaces with a lot of roots and stones, footbridges, coniferous paths and short sections of gravel road. Some wet areas west of Agvattnet where there are footbridges, but completion is also needed. It is possible to walk around the wet parts, but boots are recommended.

There are some steep climbs/descents around Gallberget and Göpommen, and at the rock wall just north of Jössestugan, which has given the trail the difficulty level "red/demanding". In between, however, varying from easy to moderate hiking.

Spacious parking area.
