Roslagsleden Trail Map

“Roslagsleden is a trail through the wilderness that’s never far from civilisation, following in the footsteps of the Vikings," writes the Swedish Tourist Association. It’s a mega 190 kilometres passing through six municipalities, running along everything from winding woodland tracks to coastal paths and through ancient settlements built from runestone, rolling pastures, and tiny country lanes. The route is marked with orange painted trees and orange signs in urban areas and is split into sections that range from 9 to 22km in length.

Description

This adventure takes you along the first two sections, which run through the beautiful Stockholm County. This is an inland part of the route, which runs mainly through forests.
