Description

This part of the Old biking trails are in quite good condition for biking. If you start from Turpas you'll get more downhill to Västra Jockfallsvägen. The trail is a bit teqnichal from Turpas and forward until you crosses the wooden-bridge over Kvarnån. Later follows gravel road biking until you reach Västra Jockfallsvägen. Note that the gravel roads and Västra Jockfallsvägen are not part of the old biking trails.

In Turpas there are a lumberjack hut named Kanslikojan, that is well worth a visit.
