Hökensås Hiking Trail 19,0 km
Tidaholm

Fantastic hike on the esker among pine forests

Experience the beautiful landscape of Hökensås with its pine forests and rolling, gentle hills. The trail starts and ends at First Camp Hökensås. Several trails originate from here, one of which is a mountain biking trail. The hiking trail and the mountain biking trail share the same route, but the mountain biking trail goes clockwise, while the hiking trail goes counterclockwise.

At certain points, you will need to cross a road, but otherwise, the trail winds through the forest, comprised of pines, spruces, and shorter sections of mixed forest. When the path is rocky, it can be slippery when wet. At some places, you'll also cross a wooden bridge, which can be slippery in wet weather.

Rich wildlife, blueberries, and lingonberries along the trail

The trail is classified as moderate and varies between wider forest roads, narrow soft paths, and narrow paths with occasional roots and rocks. During the hike, you can stop by a babbling brook, take a detour to one of the fishing lakes the trail passes, and simply enjoy the tranquility.

There is abundant wildlife in the area. If you enjoy picking berries, you can find blueberries and lingonberries along much of the trail during the right season. Feel free to stop and marvel at the natural formations when you're up on the ridge, gazing down into pits that are reminiscent of the glacial impacts in the region.

Lodging and food

The trail starts from First Camp Hökensås. At the campsite, you'll find Hökensås Sportfiske with a sports fishing shop. There's also a small convenience store in the reception area, and Restaurant Hökensås. Opening hours may vary depending on the season, so please check before planning any purchases. In the campsite's reception, you can find maps of hiking trails and a customer restroom.
