Prästöleden, one of three Visnum-Kils trails, starts on Linsön where you find large grazing pastures. You can clearly see the moraine ridges that were created when the inland ice melted.

Note: Cows are grazing, so it is not suitable to bring dogs on the hiking trail from May 1, 2024, until late summer.

Prästöleden lies at the northern end of the reserve Nötön-Åråsviken. There is a small cottage called Linsöstugan 700 meters from the car park. You can stay the night and it is equipped with an outdoor toilet, campfire pit, table and benches. Please leave the cottage in the same condition you would wish to find it. The trail continues to a lookout tower with a nice view of Kilsviken. The last part of the trail is full of stones, take it easy. A rest area with a nice view can be found at Prästöudden. Please observe that the red cottage by the rest area is a private property.

The whole area is part of a nature reserve. The trail mainly passes through pastures with grazing cows. The animals can be very curious and the trail is therefore not suitable for dogs during the period when cows are grazing.

There are three Visnum-Kils trails: Prästöleden, Nötöleden and Arskagsleden.
