Distance: 6.7km
The loop rolls up and down past tannin-stained lakes and leached iron in the bedrock; watch for a former tar ditch signed quietly beside the path.
Tjäderskogen
Also known as the Forest of capercaillie, this pine section of the trail is the preferred home to the largest gallinaceous bird, the capercaillie.
Friluftskyrkan
Near where the trail meets Trail 1 is the Outdoor Church, where, in the eighteenth century, to avoid the ban on church meetings not organised by the church, the faithful met in the woods for their ceremonies. There is not much to see, but it is an important place nonetheless.
