Description

This path leads from the visitor parking lot to the two fire pits in the northern part of the nature reserve. To the east, you reach the small commnity Långvik.

On this path, you hike through mature forests and along marshlands. You can hear woodpeckers as you walk through the pine forests, and in late summer, you can pick cloudberries growing along the bog's edge.

The landscape here is reminiscent of the wilderness areas of Northern Sweden. Visit the lookout point south of Långviksträsket, where you may sit down on a bench and enjoy the view over the peaceful lake.

Keep in mind that it can be wet in some places, so be sure to wear proper shoes.
