Bräcke-Pilgrimstad

St. Olavsleden passes Mordviken, whose name is not as dramatic as it sounds - it comes from the word "mordh," meaning forest. The village lies on the fish-rich Revsundssjön lake, and the Gimån river, with its rapids and quiet stretches, attracts fishing enthusiasts from near and far. Here you will find Gimårasten, a perfect resting place with a café, shelter, barbecue area and toilets. The wooden bridge over the river is built on stones reminiscent of the rafting era.

In Stavre you can join tours with the steamboat Alma. Jämtland is home to some of Europe's oldest log houses, and in Mälgåsen there is an old building from the 17th century. In Revsund church there is a unique St. Olav image from the 13th century. The village is an important hub for pilgrims. From here, the unmarked Jämt-Norgevägen road heads towards the Härjedalsfjällen mountains, while the St. Olavsleden trail continues west to Anviken. In the area is Hållbergsgrottan, where an outlaw is said to have once hidden.

Don't miss drinking at the St. Olav's spring in Pilgrimstad. It is said that pilgrims left their sticks in the trees around the spring, as they were cured of their ailments after drinking its water. Adjacent to the spring is the Pilgrims' House chapel, which was inaugurated about 20 years ago. A fascinating discovery in the area is 80,000-year-old mammoth bones, found in a nearby gravel pit.
