Beautiful nature reserve with hiking trail by Lake Edslan

Nowadays, the former farmland is partially overgrown with deciduous forest. There are still occasional traces of previous farming efforts in the form of felled trees.

Hiking trail

Length: 2.5 km
Type of trail: Loop
The trail offers everything from giant oaks, mountain slopes, stream valleys, old stony forest and shimmering green lakes. The terrain is sometimes demanding. The hiker is treated to a fine view of lake Edslan and the Kednäs croft. At Slommetjärnet there is a nice place right by the water, which is made for a coffee break and maybe a swim. At the parking lot there is a nice stop at Kednäsviken.
