Finnvägen is the road that in the old days connected the villages Gräs and Bosjön until 1950-51, when a proper road was built.
Today we know little about who the original "walkers" of Finnvägen were. In the early days, Bosjön used to belong to Gräs homestead/farming area and was called Gräsbosjön. In the beginning of the 17th Century Finnish immigrants began to settle down in the area around the lake. On the northwest side of Bosjön there was a big settlement and as time passed, they formed a new village. There are information signs for these settlements along the trail. We have to assume that the Finnish immigrants by Bosjön lake in the beginning established themselves as burn-heaters, and exploited the untouched forest with their particular farming technique.
