Hiking

Torpvandringen

1.0 km

On the trail there are several opportunities to stop and reflect

the work and toil that was required to survive here

150 years ago. Could you have done it?

The Torprundan is a short and interesting trail in the Stora

Mountain Nature Reserve. Here you follow the traces of a bygone era. Peat foundations, tracks

of cellars, wells and stone fences testify that people lived here

people lived here a long time ago. A life on Stora Fjället was certainly not

easy. The farms Gerstorp, Tingsjötorp and Dalen were located here.

Remotely located in the primeval forests of Tiveden, between steep rift valleys,

sloping boulders, dark forest lakes and huge pines.

A short detour from the trail takes the hiker to Tjuvagömman, where

bandits of old stored the stolen goods after their theft tours on

Östgöta side. Here on Stora Fjället they could probably exhale after

a row across the wild waters of Lake Vättern.

The Torprundan is best reached from the parking lot at Stora Tingsjön. When the

you have turned off Rv49, do not drive into Ormahålan, but continue

another 0.5km to Stora Tingsjön. This parking lot is a bit

smaller but connects directly to Torprundan, Tingsjötorprundan and

Stora Fjälletrundan. These tours can be combined with advantage.

Welcome out!
