WALKING AND HIKING
Dalarna and especially the area of Sifferbo (Gagnef) are excellent walkings areas with varied landscapes.
In the surroundings of our park are very many possibilities for short or long walking tours and hiking.
The walking trails are going through a hilly area, forests, fields and natural landscapes, but there are not so much height differences.
The trails are very good marked with red painted signs. Good walking shoes are necessary, because the terrain can be marshy and
sometimes you have to walk through high grass and bushes.
WALKING TRAILS IN DALARNA
- Fäbod trails in Gagnef
There are a total of 480 km of marked walking trails in the beautiful nature of Gagnef, which mostly go over very old trails
and passing a large number of fäbods (summer farms). You can enjoy the countryside and see the culture monuments and nature reserves.
Some trails are passing by our holiday park.
You can also make your own walking tour on the basis of a map which can be purchased at the tourist office in Gagnef.
Some walking trails are following the old trails to the fäbods. Along the way you will pass frequently
a slogbod (shelter). Here you can also find a fire place and even the wood and the matches are present.
