The 23rd section of the Bohusleden Trail runs between Nornäs and Vassbotten in the District of Tanum.

At Nornäs there is a shelter, swimming area and toilet. The Trail runs north from here alongside Lake Norra Kornsjön with a view over the tree-clad islets in the lake. After a couple of kilometres, the Trail turns west and runs very close to the Norwegian border. There is a little diversion here to the top of the mountain, with an amazing view. Further on, the Trail passes the ruin of a croft and a row of border cairns.

The Trail winds up and down along old footpaths and across ridges with pine, through rollercoaster-type terrain. Between the two lakes of Abborrtjärnen and Bockögat there is a lovely rocky ledge which is perfect for a picnic. 

Towards the end of the section, the Trail passes the biggest attraction of this section. Älgfallet is the highest waterfall in Bohuslän and is a real must for those that have not been there before. If you take the footbridge from here, you pass the border and enter Norway. 

Surface: This section of the trail is on dirt road and forest path

Time: It takes approximately 5-6 hours to hike this section.

Not to be missed: Stopping at the Waterfall Älgafallet.
