Stättared - Veddige

The trail passes some beautiful vantage points where you can admire the Stora Hornsjön lake. You’ll head past the ruins of the old Dalen croft, a remarkable stone slab bearing inscriptions and an old stone bridge. You’ll walk along some lovely nature trails past small lakes before you reach the village of Veddige. The name of this place dates back to Viking times, when it was called Vidhogher. In Veddige, you’ll have chance to stock up on supplies and access public transport. Dranstugan is the nearest campsite.

Degree of difficulty Red

After an easy section on a forest road and country lane around the southern tip of Stora Hornsjön, the trail climbs up to higher elevations heading south. Here, the terrain becomes considerably hillier and in places the trail follows narrow paths over wet ground. The last part of the journey to Veddige is on an easy cycle track.

Things worth seeing on this stage:

Dalen timber cabin

Beautiful view over the lake Hornsjön

Stone slab with inscriptions

Stone bridge from the past

Veddige portar
