Distance: 1.3 KM
The trail is a loop near to the Vitsands entrance, and comes off trail 4 (which circles the lake).
It punches above its length: the draw is Vitsandsgrottorna, the white-sand caves. About halfway around, what looks like a boulder pile with a pocket shelter turns into a scramble up a rock chimney and through an arch, opening views toward the park’s north entrance.
The trail then curls back around through a small crevice and woodland before coming back to the main trail and where you started.
In terms of terrain and hiking, there is a lot for your time in such a small trail.
Vitsandsgrottorna
The grotto is made of boulders brought to the area in the last ice age, approximately 10,000 years ago, and gives you a chance to climb up then and through to the next portion of the trail.
