kmSeveral stages of the Finnskogleden trail pass through Torsby Municipality, where you can experience the history of the Forest Finns, wilderness, and beautiful viewpoints.
The trail runs through varied terrain, from deep forests and wetlands to high mountain peaks with magnificent views. In some areas, the markings are unclear or missing, so a map and GPS are strongly recommended. For those interested in the region’s history, there are many traces of Forest Finnish settlements, such as smoke cabins, crofts, and old border crossings used during World War II.
If you're planning a multi-day hike, you should bring a tent, as the condition of shelters along the trail may vary.
