Total length: 4
kmShort loop (1.6 km, light blue markings)
An easily accessible and family-friendly trail, perfect for a relaxing walk in regular shoes. The loop winds through a beautiful and leafy environment and is ideal for a short nature outing.
Long loop (4 km, red markings)
This trail offers a greater nature experience and requires sturdier shoes as the terrain is more varied. It takes you through lovely forest sections and open landscapes, where you can enjoy birdsong and the peaceful atmosphere by the water.
Both trails run through the scenic area east of Lake Sirsjön and are well-maintained with boardwalks and relatively even ground, making them accessible for most hikers. Along the way, you’ll pass the small croft Ritömt, once home to artist Paul Piltz, as well as Bovilgården – a site rich in history and cultural connections.
