Linheden
Edsleskog

The nature paths

At the starting point you find an information board with a map over the area and along the paths there are signs telling you about the importance of the forest for Sweden (only in Swedish). When walking along Skogsslingan you reach the vantage point after about 200 m. From the vantage point (252 meters above sea level) you have an expansive view of the landscape of Dalsland. The closest lake you see is Lake Knarrbysjön and you also see Lake Vänern in the south and by clear weather you can even see Mount Kinnekulle in Västergötland on the other side of Lake Vänern.  

The difficulty is light/moderate with a steeper part leading up to the vantage point. The paths are marked with orange colour. The markings can unfortunately be difficult to locate in some areas.

More hiking in the area

In the area there are several beautiful hiking trails, for example the nature reserve Grimsheden about 3 km south of Linheden and also the highest point in Dalsland - Baljåsen, north of Edsleskog.
