Easy hikes and walks around Långsjön-Tutviken

The Gammeldammen in Tyresta National Park connects a quiet water surface with adjacent bogs and wetlands, thus showing a particularly typical landscape form of the national park. Around the lake, mosses, grasses, low vegetation, and dense forest characterize the surroundings, while the sky and trees are often reflected on the water. The mixture of lake, bog, and forest makes this section a particularly quiet and natural part of the hike.

The view of the lake in Tyresta National Park opens up a tranquil vista over the water framed by forest and rocky shores. Between old trees and open rock faces, beautiful perspectives of the typically Swedish lake landscape repeatedly emerge. Especially in calm weather, when the forest and sky are reflected on the water's surface, this spot is an atmospheric stopover on the hike.

The path through the burnt area in Tyresta National Park leads through the landscape that was profoundly changed by the great fire of 1999. Even today, dead tree trunks, open rocky areas, and vegetation of different ages are visible, while at the same time, natural reforestation can be observed very well. The section is particularly impressive because it shows how a forest regenerates itself over decades after a large-scale fire.

The stony path in Tyresta National Park leads over rocks, roots, and uneven forest floor through the pristine landscape of the nature reserve. Such natural trail sections are typical for Tyresta and require some sure-footedness in places, especially when wet. At the same time, it is precisely the rocky passages that make a hike through the old forests of the national park so special.

The fallen tree on the forest path shows how natural many sections of Tyresta National Park are. Deadwood is often left to its natural development in the protected forest and provides important habitat for numerous fungi, insects, and other organisms. For hikers, such obstacles are also a characteristic part of the original forest paths through Tyresta.

The path along Långsjön leads directly along the elongated lake through the quiet forest landscape of Tyresta National Park. Again and again, beautiful views of the water and the opposite, densely wooded shores open up between trees and rocks. The combination of a narrow forest path, rocky terrain, and a tranquil lake landscape makes this section a particularly atmospheric part of the hike.

The entrance to Tyresta National Park marks the transition from the cultural landscape around Tyresta By into the protected forest and lake landscape of the national park. From here, marked hiking trails lead through old forests, across rocky passages and wooden boardwalks to lakes, mires, and resting places. An ideal starting point for exploring one of the most original natural landscapes in the immediate vicinity of Stockholm.

Numerous well-marked and well-trodden trails. The gentle gradient allows for easy walking for about twenty kilometers. Beautiful views and sightings of ravens, ospreys, and woodpeckers are among the many opportunities.
