Total length: 3
kmThe hike begins at the parking area and follows a 1.4 km pasture trail toward Värnäs-Tväråssätern. The path leads through young forest and across wetlands on boardwalks before reaching the edge of the nature reserve. Just before entering the reserve, you can take a 300-meter detour to a fire shelter, which is open for rest or overnight stays.
Inside the Fänstjärnsskogen Nature Reserve, the trail continues in a 1.4 km circular loop through hilly forest terrain. Here, you’ll encounter silver firs and gnarled old pines, some of which have stood for hundreds of years. The terrain is fairly steep in places, with a few inclines that are sure to get your heart rate up.
