Actions

Currently

Most water taps are closed during the period 1/11 - 15/4. This is because of the risk of pipes freezing. However, nature's water reserves are well stocked during that period.

Description

On Stage 8 you will pass several shingle fields, formed when the waves of the Yoldia Sea increased in strength all the way from Russia and washed over the edge of Kilsbergskanten. You also pass Rusakulan, which is the best viewing point on Kilsbergen. Follow the marked path to the top and you will have an uninterrupted view of the whole of Närke, including no fewer than 21 church towers. The trail also passes the ruins of cottages and stone walls at the village of Kilsbergsbyn at Tomasboda. Via Amboberget you can cut across northwards to Stage 7. Sample the delights of the enchanted Norra Trolldalen valley, with its steep sides and the stream at the bottom. At Lockhyttan you will find our Vinterhagen resting place, with a wind shelter, fireplace and toilet.
