Sweden Along two hiking routes at Tiveden National Park

In Tiveden National Park the forest is being allowed to evolve as natural forest. What is now growing here is a forest that has not been impacted by recent decades of large-scale forestry. Such a large contiguous area of old forest is very unusual in southern Sweden. The age and majesty of the forest and the wild configuration of the landscape is what gives this national park its character.

Tiveden National Park has an area of 2 030 hectares. It has a total of 34 kilometres of marked hiking trails offering walks of 0,9 to 9,5 km. The very hilly terrain and abundance of boulders make for stimulating but demanding hiking.

I recommend the Trail Trollkyrkerundan (includes the Oxaberget) and Trail Stenkällerundan (includes lake side and the Stenkälla)

There are many locations where Nature shows its beauty. You have beatiful panoramic views from Oxaberget or the Trollkyrkan. Woodlands are wild. In August/September you have the heater bloom, to get nice colors as well as in autumn when the leaves are changeing. Fog adds another layer of interest.

The easiest way to get to the Tiveden National Park is from the south, from highway 49 between Karlsborg and Askersund.

The national park can also be reached by following signs from Askersund in the north-east and from E20 by Finnerödja and Laxå in the north-west.

Parking lots are free.
