The vast majority of mountain hikers follow marked trails. In the mountain area there is a state-run trail system\u201d from the S\u00e4len in the south to Treriksr\u00f6set in the north. In the areas we recommend for mountain hiking between mountain huts, there are marked trails and good signs. You will often also see well-trodden paths, marked with stones set on edge and sometimes with red crosses. The red trail crosses always mark winter trails, but also apply when the summer and winter trails run along the same route. In the forest, you will find painted markings on trees or posts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
There are signs where trails start or split. The signs show the symbol for a summer or winter trail, the distance to the destination and symbols for shelters, huts and emergency telephones. There are bridges over watercourses that would otherwise be difficult to cross. The trails offer temporary shelters. These are always open but not intended for planned overnight stays. There is a stove, but rarely firewood. Many of these shelters have emergency telephones, as do all mountain huts. Mountain huts always lie along the marked summer trails.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In the areas we recommend for day hikes, there are often different local marking and sign systems. These may be information boards, maps, poles marking the terrain and rest areas. The trails often go to interesting places and seasonal mountain caf\u00e9s. There are also often marked circular hikes of different lengths.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
