Smooth trail mainly through pine forest that reaches the beautiful Brudforsen rapids about 2/3 of the way through, thereby the trail name. Most of the trail is single track and it is ridden in the counter clockwise direction. The last third of the trail is especially good with a nice single track on an elevated plateau in the landscape that finally reaches the riverside. This trail is good to ride in combination with the trail Heden and/or Älven. The Brudforsen rapids is a great place to stop for a while and enjoy the view and perhaps some fika. The trail is marked with yellow ribbons on trees here and there.
