The Stone Valley Boulder Field

A very impressing view in „The Stone Valley“ with its anyway interesting geological phenomena: a huge field of large boulders in dark greyish to almost black color. Almost like on the moon 🌙

Trollsjön

Highlight • Lake

Easily accessible via beautiful trails - be careful, it's slippery! The walk is definitely worth it!
And please: plan your time!
This isn't a hike you can start an hour before sunset - the terrain isn't a well-paved hiking trail!
