Hiking in Tresticklan National Park

Tresticklan, one of Sweden's 24 national parks and one of Dalsland's most visited tourist destinations  is located in Nössemark. 
Here you will find several different hiking trails in unbroken wilderness, one of them crosses the border into Norway. The total length of the trails are 23 kilometers with a medium difficulty level. There is good access to footbridges that make your hike easier. Tresticklan national park is the largest unexploited forest area in southern Sweden. The trails are varied and hilly, depending on whether you walk in the direction of the mountain ridges or along them.
