Röstvålen runt

Starting from Ramundberget, it is possible to go on a tour among the mountains and roaring mountain streams, in the historical footsteps of the pilgrims.

Follow the river Ljusnan valley from Ramundberget, you walk where thousands of pilgrims have walked before you. Continue north up to Röstvålen along the Sveån River. You follow the path that is marked with very old cairns. Enjoy the bare mountain and the beautiful landscape. When your route is crossed by the state orange-marked summer trail, you follow it south towards Klinken. The tour then goes back towards Ramundberget along Ljusnan river.

Walk in the footsteps of the pilgrims

The Romboleden offers a cultural and historical journey along paths and roads that have been trodden by pilgrims since the 11th century. It is the oldest pilgrimage trail in the Nordic region - and Sweden's longest. The trail is also one of Europe's longest pilgrimage trails. The Rombo Trail stretches approximately 900 km from Köping Church in Mälardalen to Nidaros Cathedral in Trondheim on the Norwegian Atlantic coast.

If you hike the entire trail, you will experience a beautiful and varied landscape. You will walk on old shepherd's paths, over mountain expanses and along narrow gravel roads in the countryside. You'll find everything from easy day hikes with cafés along the way - to long hikes that take several days. The trail often passes through small communities.

It's your choice whether you want to walk for health, recreation or religious reasons. The whole Rombo Trail is long, but you can of course walk each section separately. For natural reasons, the trail sometimes diverges from the historic paths, but it mainly follows the medieval route.

Thanks to the landowners - be considerate when hiking

The Rombo Trail runs largely through actively managed forest and agricultural land. Thanks to the generosity of landowners and the cooperation of volunteers, you will have the opportunity to walk through landscapes that would otherwise not be accessible.

As a hiker, it is important to remember that you are walking on someone else's land. Be considerate by sticking to the trail, avoiding disturbing animals, crops and work in progress. Leave nature as you found it - or even better.

Leave nothing but footprints along the trail.
