High Point

A mix of single track and forest roads that leads to a very beautiful single track along the riverside. At some places the trail is only a few meters from the river It is a nice experience to watch the river pick up speed as it transitions from flat and calm to the white water rapids of Brudforsen before it continues to Storforsen, which is one of Europes largest waterfalls. The single track closest to the river is really nice, so if you don´t want to do the whole thing - take a shortcut there using the forest roads. The trail is marked with red ribbons on trees here and there
