Ljusbodarna - Granbergets fäbod, Romboleden Etapp 12

This is a real forest walk, along winding paths and past lakes. It is undulating terrain and Granberget is steep. Djursjön is good for bathing.

Along the way you will find several old chalets or huts – part of farms that were used for grazing animals and were often only lived in during the summer months. Granberget’s chalets offers a fantastic cultural area with a magnificent view over the surroundings. One of the cottages, Kronstugan, offers overnight stays. At Ljusbodarna there is also a cottage that provides accommodation. For more information, see romboleden.se.

Walk in the footsteps of the pilgrims

Romboleden (Rombo Way) is a pilgrimage route that people began using in the 11th century. The Romboleden is Sweden’s longest pilgrimage route at 900 kilometres long. It starts in Köping in Västmanland and finishes in Trondheim on the Norwegian Atlantic coast. If you walk the entire trail, you will experience a beautiful and varied landscape. You will walk on old chalet paths, over mountains with magnificent vistas and along narrow country gravel roads. You will find easy one-day walks with cafés along the way, and long treks that take several days. The route often passes through small villages.

Would you like to walk with a Pilgrim’s Passport and collect stamps from each stage? The medieval Pilgrim’s Passport allowed a pilgrim to walk in the whole of Europe without being stopped by rules or boundaries. These days it is just a nice memento. The Pilgrim’s Passport can be collected at several stage starting points and from the web page of Rombo Way.
