Hiking trails in your area
There are many ways to find hiking trails in your area. One tip is to use Naturkartan (opens in new tab), which brings together the majority of Sweden’s hiking trails. Other useful map services include Lantmäteriet’s My map (opens in new tab) and Topo GPS (opens in new tab).
Another suggestion is to look up the destination company in your area, as they often gather helpful information about local hiking trails on their websites, for example Visit Värmland or Visit Dalarna. In other regions, the county or a foundation may take greater responsibility for maintaining and promoting trails, such as Skåneleden, Bergslagsleden or Västkuststiftelsen, which provide extensive information and detailed maps. Many municipalities also have outdoor recreation pages with a wide range of hiking suggestions.
