Hiking in Glaskogen
Bring your backpack and experience nature in the best possible way. Hiking is a relaxing and healthy way to exercise, and also gives you great opportunities to enjoy nature. Glaskogen 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 windshelters, overnight cabins and resting places. However, you still ought to bring your own tent just in case the overnight cabins and windshelters are already occupied. A compass might come to hand. In summer Glaskogen has lots of visitors but if you come in autum, spring and winter you can really enjoy nature, tranquility and the feeling of wilderness.

Mobile coverage
The coverage for your mobile phone can be very poor at some spots in Glaskogen. The coverage varies a lot in this area. Tell your friends and family where you are and when they can expect you back in “civilisation” so that no one has to worry.
Modern forestry
In the Glaskogen nature reserve modern forestry is practiced. There are only some woods that are totally protected from forestry. The industrial vehicles require sufficient space for maneuvering and loading. Please do not park on roads and turning areas intended for forestry. Do not enter paths and areas where forest operations are running. Danger to life!
