Rändåfallet -Ljusnedal, Romboleden Etapp 28

This stage follows the rushing waters of Rändån and traverses the rocky slopes of Lillfjället, offering magnificent views. On open mountains, the trail is marked by cairns.

You pass the ancient rest area Norgesvilden, and west of Lillfjället, a medieval signpost and altar. These landmarks testify that you are walking the same route as medieval pilgrims. Near Ol-Jonsvallen, you have a choice of two routes. Take the historic trail directly to the Bruksvallarna arena, or the trail that passes Ljusnedal and Funäsdalen.

The stage is demanding, lacks any services, and includes multiple fords and wet bogs. Bring a map, compass, extra food, and plan for two overnight stays.

Walk in the footsteps of the pilgrims

Romboleden (Rombo Way) is a pilgrimage route that people began using in the 11th century. The Romboleden is Sweden’s longest pilgrimage route at 900 kilometres long. It starts in Köping in Västmanland and finishes in Trondheim on the Norwegian Atlantic coast. If you walk the entire trail, you will experience a beautiful and varied landscape. You will walk on old chalet paths, over mountains with magnificent vistas and along narrow country gravel roads. You will find easy one-day walks with cafés along the way, and long treks that take several days. The route often passes through small villages.
