Värmlandsleder uppföljer ett stort antal kriterier i form av löpande skötsel, markavtal, information på tre språk, tydlig märkning, information om natur och kulturvärden mm.

Visnums-Kils lederna utgörs av lederna: Prästöleden, Nötöleden och Arskagsleden. Här möts du av lugn och vacker natur, betande djur, havsörnar, och ovanliga hackspettar. Området är känt för sina ekar, öppna ängar och närheten till Vänern.

En fin vandring genom skog och hagmark med storslagen utsikt mot innanhavet Vänern. Här finns dramatiska klippstränder, ett rikt fågelliv och vacker småskaligt jordbruk med anor från 1500-talet.

Vandra på öar i Vänern. Från Kristinehamns största ö Vålön vandrar du vidare i naturreservaten Kalvön och Sibberön. Öarna sitter ihop med gångbroar och här har du möjlighet till bad från både badstränder och klippor.

Quality-labeled Värmland trails

What is a quality marked hiking trail?

A quality assured Värmlandsled (Värmland walking trail) has been checked and approved by the Association of Värmlandsleder. It satisfies all our quality criteria such as easy to follow trail markings. Bridges, footbridges and rest points are well-maintained. Signs are in Swedish, English and German. All landowners are in favour of the trails. Read more at värmlandsleders sida.

In Kristinehamn, there are several quality-labeled Värmland trails to choose from: The Iron Trail is 30 km long and runs through historic terrain. It stretches from Kristinehamn's guest harbor to Hytte. Choose to walk the entire distance or different stages. Visnums-Kils lederna are quality marked Värmlandsleder and consist of: Prästöleden, Nötöleden and Arskagsleden, all about 5.5 km long.

Follow the path of iron

Walk in the footsteps of the iron on the historic The Iron Trail which was used as a transport route for the iron to the shipping port in Kristinehamn. Combine Järnleden with Järnsjöleden, a 28 km long hiking trail in Storfors municipality, which continues at Järnleden's northern point, Hytte and continues towards Storfors.

Walk with a view of lake Värnen
