Trail 05 - Oxögabergsrundan

Distance: 6.7km

One of the longer trails in the park is winds between rift valleys and faults formed a thousand million years ago. Much of the hike is through mossy wet spruce forests, but at one point, you reach Tjádersogen. As you walk the trail, which goes up and downhill quite frequently, you’ll also pass by a number of lakes, mostly with a brown colouring for the lack of nutrients and leached iron from the rocks. To one side, if you are paying attention, you’ll see a former tar making ditch with a small signpost drawing attention to it…

Tjäderskogen 

Also known as the Forest of capercaillie, this pine section of the trail is the preferred home to the largest gallinaceous bird, the capercaillie.

Friluftskyrkan

Near where the trail meets Trail 1 is the Outdoor Church, where, in the eighteenth century, to avoid the ban on church meetings not organised by the church, the faithful met in the woods for their ceremonies. There is not much to see, but it is an important place nonetheless.
