Kinnekulle Weekend Hike

Kinnekulle Weekend Hike
Join us for a wonderful two-day hiking weekend at Kinnekulle, one of Sweden’s most beautiful "table mountains" (platåberg). Late May is the absolute prime time to visit this area, as the forest floor is usually covered in a blanket of blooming ramson (wild garlic), filling the air with its distinct aroma.

This hike is perfect for hikers who are comfortable carrying a full backpack with camping gear. We will cover some distance, but the focus is on enjoying nature and soaking in the views and not rushing to the finish line.

Day 1 we start from Blomberg train station and walk too Hellekis Säteri where we fill up the water bottles before the night. The plan is to set up the tents some where in the Grand Quarry the swedish variant of grand canyon :)

Day 2 we explore more of Munkängarnas nature before we clime uphill to se the view from the tower. After this we walk to Hällkis train station where we then take the train home.
