Spetsen gets its name from the Swedish word for "tip", and for good reason. The trail puts you on your edge at times, meanwhile, the trail looks like a literal tip from above.

Access Info

After ascending via the access road, continue onto the second gravel plateau. From there, turn to a sharp left, where you will see two trailheads merging into one trail.

Disclaimer

Very difficult during/after snowfall/downfall, due to mud.
