Sormlandsleden - Sweden

A 1000 km trail through beautiful countryside

The Sormland trail passes through varied countryside, including "wilderness" areas, cultural landscapes and sites of historical interest.

The long-distance path is waymarked with orange circles around trees or poles, signs with SORMLANDSLEDEN ans S-arrows, in places, the orange colour is supplemented with  blue e.g. on arrow tips or a dot in the circle around a tree, indicating that the section also forms part of a circular route. Planks and footbridges take walkers across sensitive and waterlogged areas.  Signs are erected at the beginning of each section, with maps and descriptions of the adjoining sections.
