Lavskrikeleden

Lavskrikeleden which starts at the naturum visitor centre is a wheelchair accessible round trail of about 2 kilometres and is made up of packed gravel and wooden footbridges.

Njupeskärsslingan

3,9 km. The trail is gravelled, has boardwalks and is easy to hike. Nature path with information boards. Enchanting nature along the Njupå river valley, with 400-year-old spruce trees.

Parts of the trail is accessible with wheelchair, please ask the staff at naturum visitor center - we're happy to point out accessible routes on a map.

The trail to Njupeskär waterfall is a summer trail and can be very slippery in the winter. We do NOT recommend you to go down in to the Njupeskär canyon, since there is a great risk of falling ice, rocks and avalanches.

Jaktfalksleden

5.5 km. For the seasoned hiker - a longer version of the Njupeskär loop, which passes a bit above the falls and then back towards the main entrance. In addition, the trail goes up a steep slope that to many seems like a climb. The hiking above the falls in boulder-strewn terrain can be very challenging, and is not recommended in rainy weather.

Around Rösjön

9 km. Start by walking towards the waterfall. By Njupeskär cabin, take a right up on the mountain. You are now facing a steep climb up the mountain side. In the next crossing, follow signs towards Lorthån. In the crossing after that, follow signs for Rösjön. Then take the trail back to the parking lot.

Bergådalsleden

24 km. Starts at the naturum visitor centre, goes the direct route to the Rörsjö lakes, continues past the Harrsjö lakes, Bergådalsstugan and Särmanstugan, and finishes back at the Rörsjö lakes and naturum. Add 3 km if you wish to see the Njupekär waterfall. A good trail if you plan on staying one night, possibly at the Rörsjö lakes.
