Distance: 11.9 km · Difficulty: moderate
On Lidö, you always feel welcome.
On the trail, you are met by tranquility, the striking presence of nature, and several historical sites where you can reflect on who has walked the forest paths before you.
The section on Lidö is special. On the island, there is the Inn with rental cottages, a farmer and nature. The trail starts from the ferry quay and from the Inn. The section consists of two coastal loops and an out-and-back trail.
The trail takes you past open meadows with grazing cattle and through forests. The forest and nature on Lidö is unique as it has been affected by the spruce bark beetle and Storm Alfrida. It becomes very clear how powerful nature is and how we need to adapt.
The path winds through labyrinths of trees. You have the opportunity to see a well-preserved Russian oven, beautiful swim spots and the Lidö battery from World War II, which was meant to protect part of Stockholm.
Lidö fascinates. You feel the wings of history and if you are wise, you will stay and enjoy a good dinner.
