Hiking and Cycling

Högåsstigen is a challenging hiking loop for experienced hikers. Torvsjöslingan runs around the entire lake Torvsjön; a large part of the route follows a gravel path. These trails offer different selection criteria: on Högåsstigen, you can match the difficulty to your hiking experience; on Torvsjöslingan, the lakeside loop and the surface are important. This makes it possible to compare the challenging rating on the one hand with the route shape and path surface of the lakeside loop on the other.

There are three marked mountain biking trails in Skedala skog, featuring berms, drops and jumps. The regional cycling route Hylteleden runs through Skedala. These offer different perspectives when choosing a route: the mountain biking trails focus on specific trail features, while Hylteleden is notable for its route through the area. Regional bus 318 goes to Skedala skog. Check the latest departures before your trip if you want to take the bus to the forest trails.
