Hiking in Gla Forest
Bring your rucksack and experience nature in the best possible way. Hiking is a relaxing and healthy way to exercise, and also gives you great opportunities to study nature. Gla Forest offers 300 km of hiking trails, you can choose anything from a round trip for a few hours or weekly tours without having to take the same trail twice. All trails are marked with orange, there are signs in the crossings, and along the paths there are windbreaks, overnight cabins and resting places. However, you still ought to bring your own tent just in case the overnight cabins and windbreaks are already occupied. We recommend that you start in Lenungshammar from where hiking trails in all the cardinal points start. For a more detailed description, you can order our booklet "19 tours..." Order the Glaskogen map and the hiking tour folder(pdf)
At the Karl XII:s cottage in Lenungshammar there is a nature and culture path that is suitable for walks in ordinary shoes and also with prams. The path is 5 km and along it there are several information boards describing geological and historical sights along the way. Make a stop in the café for a coffee or order a picnic basket and enjoy it at any of the resting places along the nature and culture path.
