Glaskogen Nature Reserve covers 28.000 hectares and includes over 300 km of hiking trails, with Lenungshammar at its centre where you can camp, rent a canoe and find tourist information. You can make excursions lasting one day or one week. The hiking trails include picnic spots, wind shelters and cabins. Maps (1:50 000 scale) can be purchased at the Tourist Information Centres in western Värmland, the petrol station in Glava or online on Glaskogen's webpage. To stay overnight in a shelter or cabin and to use the picnic facilities, you need to buy the Glaskogen card which is available in Lenungshammar or the tourist information centre in Arvika. There are many lakes and waterways for fishing and canoeing. A fishing licence that covers most of the lakes in the area is available.
