As soon as I stepped onto the path for Finnskogleden, I could feel the cool air of the forest. The sun was just starting to peek over the trees in the early morning.
There is a hiking trail called Finnskogleden, which is also called the Finnish Forest Trail. It goes through forests in both Norway and Sweden.
Finnskogleden’s main trail is a huge 240 kilometers (149 mi.) long, and it can take several days to finish. The trail is difficult, with some steep climbs and descents, but the views are amazing.
Along Rågsroys 67, behind the peace monument, this is where the Finnskogleden starts. As you walk northwest toward the Veksla river, the path changes into a dirt road.
It’s not too hard to get from Håvilsrud to Mitandersfors. – It’s 17.6 km (10.9 mi) away. – It takes about 5 to 8 hours one way
This stage is in a nature area, so there will be more plants once you get there. At Mitandersfors, head toward Bogsalven. The road will then start to rise through the trees to reach Bengtstorp.
