Description

Section 22 begins at the beach by Lake Tenasjön, and ends in Ytterkvarn in nature reserve Skattmansöådalen. From the beach, you’ll walk along paths and gravel roads down to the southern end of the lake. At the beginning, where the trail turns off into the forest, you can take a detour up to lookout point Uvhällsklack (300 metres, unmarked path).

Before leaving Lake Tenasjön behind, you’ll reach a nice rest spot with a wind shelter and a fireplace. You’ll then follow a forest road for cars for 2 kilometres, and then a path for the rest of the section, through rugged coniferous forests. Towards the end, you’ll reach Skattmansöådalen, a beautiful, open river valley with animals grazing along the hillsides.

Inside the nature reserve is a rest spot with a wind shelter and fireplaces by the ski slope, and you’ll get a view of the valley. There’s only about 1 kilometre left to Ytterkvarn.

Difficulty level: Easy, roads and easy-to-walk forest paths.
