Trail 04 Trehrningsrundan

Trail 04 - Trehörningsrundan

Tiveden trail 4 — Trehörningsrundan is the long purple loop around the lake; often rougher and steeper than the entrances suggest.

Distance: 9.5km

Near the entrances it is quite accessible; farther out you scramble slabs, climb short pitches, and pick up some of the park’s best views. Every other numbered trail crosses this loop at some point, so you will probably hike pieces of it even on other plans.

Käringaudden Campsite

A short walk from the Vitsands entrance is Käringaudden, one of the two places you can camp in Tiveden’s national park. Please expect to be sharing the campsite with others, but there is a good amount of space to use, though much of it is on a slight incline, so it is best to pay attention to how you align your tent. There is wood, and tools for cutting provided firewood, a good-sized fire pit with benches and a drop toilet (though its only a ten minute walk back to the vitsands entrance which has nicer toilet options. The campsite is on the main trail and easily found, and fronts onto the lake giving nice views in the evening and mornings, though of course, this does bring with it additional mosquitoes.

Mellannäsudden

Approximately a twenty-minute walk from the Ösjönäs entrance is Mellannäsudden campsite, you have to hike a short trail through knee-high undergrowth before reaching it, and it is the mirror image of Käringaudden, being on the south of the lake. Again there is a drop toilet, fire pit with benches and wood supply. There seems to be more camping space here than at Käringaudden, but it also had more visitors, perhaps because it is more secluded.

Giant’s Kettle

A short walk off the trail and easily accessible via car was the Giant's Kettle, a stone formation in a shaped bowl, large enough for a giant to cook in. There is not much else here, and so it is worth a visit if you are passing by, but better to make an effort to see Junker Jäger’s stone.
