The stretch between Spraxkya and Karlstad on the Sweden Trail offers a journey through Värmland's deep forests, sparkling lakes and historically rich communities. The starting point, Spraxkya, is in an area known for its natural beauty and tranquil atmosphere, perfect for starting an adventure.
As the journey continues towards Hagfors, you move through landscapes characterized by both industrial history and natural beauty. Hagfors, with its industrial heritage and proximity to nature, offers a unique blend of the old and the new, where tradition meets modernity. Please note! The Sunds Bridge between Hagfors and Uddeholm has been closed since 2020. To avoid unnecessary detours, we recommend that you plan your route via Route 246 starting from Hagfors, where you will rejoin the trail in Uddeholm.
The final destination, Karlstad, is known as the 'City of Sun and Wind'. Located on the northern shore of Lake Vänern, Karlstad offers not only beautiful water landscapes, but also a rich cultural history, exciting museums and a vibrant city center. Cycling into the city, overlooking Lake Vänern and its archipelago, is truly a reward in itself.
