This is a very demanding part of Kroppefjällsleden and we recommend that you read the entire text before you go out.

You can now embark on a real adventure along this stage that runs between Källan and Dals Rostock and through six nature reserves!

The stage takes you 22,1 kilometers through lush mixed forest and over bogs, streams and ponds. It runs on forest paths but also along, among other things, Charles XII's road.

Look out for the purple marking with the owl on and make sure you have sturdy water-resistant boots, dry change, food bag, water and a charged mobile. We recommend this stage only for experienced and enduring hikers.
