Hälsans stig is accessible to everyone
In collaboration with the Swedish Heart-Lung Association, Tidaholm municipality has created a "Hälsans stig" (Path of Health) from the Ringleden. This pedestrian-friendly loop, without a designated starting point, is approximately 5.5 km long. There are connecting routes through the town center. The goal is for this to be a safe and secure walking path that encourages many to engage in physical activity, is well-signposted, and is accessible to everyone.
Along the trail
Along Hälsans stig, each kilometer is marked with a sign, allowing you to track your progress. In between, there are signs indicating the direction of the trail, regardless of which way you are walking. You can obtain a map at the Tidaholm Tourist Office, at Matöppet, or in Tidaholms City Hall. The map is also available for download here.
