Glimpses of Fryken
The hiking trail runs partly over rocks and through the sparse pine forest. It winds down through the spruce forest to Fryken’s beach and up again. In some places there are ropes to help you get around and in other places you walk on ancient gravel roads. There are several possibilities to relax and enjoy the view. You walk through varying nature and occasionally have views of both Fryken and the growing landscape, where you can often discern the former agricultural landscape. Your hike follows the mountain of Askerud northwards and then returns again on the other side.
Many remnants from the past
Askerudsberget is one of the most interesting trails in Värmland for people interested in cultural history. There are remnants in the form of foundations and remains of former dancefloors that can hardly be discerned any longer. Impressive stone yards divide the landscape and there are plenty of antique monuments. No less than 36 different points of interest are marked on the map, and you can read about many of them on the information boards along the trail. People often live in the crofts that are still intact, so please show consideration and do not trespass on their land.
