Description
Section 2 takes you from the parking area by Nyby on the outskirts of nature reserve Norra Lunsen to popular recreation area Fjällnora. There are many places and buildings along the way that tell of the area’s long history, such as the Mora Äng Meadow, Lagga Church, and the rune stones at Kasby.
For the first 7 kilometres, the trail follows a country road, first surrounded by forests and farms, and then through the valley of the River Storån, with open farmlands. Shortly after passing the village of Lagga, the trail turns off onto a forest path again. The shorter, but fairly rocky road towards Fjällnora starts 1 kilometre before Lake Ramsen. Alternatively, you can choose the slightly longer, but easier, The Eda Walk (see 2:1).
Not far from Fjällnora, along the eastern shore of Lake Ramsen, is a windshelter with a view of the lake. In Fjällnora, there is a swimming spot, a restaurant, a campsite, toilets, and cottages for rent.
Difficulty level: Easy/hard, 7 kilometres on country roads, the remainder on paths over sometimes rugged and rocky terrain.
