Gallbergsleden

Description for the direction of the counterseal From the parking lot, it is a joint start for the three leads Gallbergsleden, Djupdalsleden and Sotar Blixtleden. After the first hill up past the cottage, the sign that shows the road choices begins. The color marking for Gallbergsleden is well visible. The signs show the direction of the opposite sun and start towards the southeast with a slightly rocky path, with some roots. The high grain forest does not release much light down to the ground and gives a room feel to the porland of the small streams. Prisoners facilitate passage over wet parties and pelvis. As the altitudes increase, the terrain transitions to more elements of pine and barrel-covered path.

After a z-shaped stage towards the east, the path turns to the northeast. Near the top of Gallberg, the ground is covered under the old, tall pines of blueberry rice. At the highest points there is a breakplastic overlooking the lake Racken and the surroundings.

The path rings westward, down the mountain toward the Hartjärnet, where, among other things, white nessels bloom in June/July. The path continues down to the Stugan, on bitterly rocky surface, among lush vegetation.

The terrain is mostly forest paths with some duck boards across small streams. In the lower areas there are a good deal of rocks and roots.

Steep climb to the Gallberget top.

Spacious parking lot for around 20 cars.
