In a letter to Sophie Elkan from 1907, Selma Lagerl\u00f6f wrote: \u201cWhen I walk around here in Falun, it sometimes occurs that I suddenly notice that I have been walking in my thoughts on roads and paths in my home village.\u201d Selma Lagerl\u00f6f was very much inspired by nature, which can be seen in particular in the book \u201cThe Wonderful Adventure of Nils Holgersson\u201d.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"col-12 col-md-6 acf-textandimage__img\">\n\t\t\t\t<div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<picture><source type=\"image\/webp\" media=\"(min-width: 768px)\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/sagolikasunne.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/vandring-selfie-storbild-952x540-c-center.webp 1x, https:\/\/sagolikasunne.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/vandring-selfie-storbild-1904x1080-c-center.webp 2x\" \/><source media=\"(min-width: 768px)\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/sagolikasunne.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/vandring-selfie-storbild-952x540-c-center.jpg 1x, https:\/\/sagolikasunne.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/vandring-selfie-storbild-1904x1080-c-center.jpg 2x\" \/><source type=\"image\/webp\" media=\"(min-width: 0px)\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/sagolikasunne.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/vandring-selfie-storbild-314x234-c-center.webp 1x, https:\/\/sagolikasunne.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/vandring-selfie-storbild-628x468-c-center.webp 2x\" \/><source media=\"(min-width: 0px)\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/sagolikasunne.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/vandring-selfie-storbild-314x234-c-center.jpg 1x, https:\/\/sagolikasunne.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/vandring-selfie-storbild-628x468-c-center.jpg 2x\" \/><img class=\"lazy\" alt=\"vandring-selfie-storbild\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/sagolikasunne.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/vandring-selfie-storbild-952x540-c-center.jpg\" \/><\/picture>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"view-over-fryksdalen\">View over Fryksdalen<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Parts of the trail are steep. There are even steps at one point along the trail. But as usual, when you&#8217;re up, you feel it was worth it. You&#8217;ll be on the Kajsa ridge, which offers a magnificent view of Fryksdalen. What could be better than enjoying your own picnic at this spot! After the Kajsa ridge, the hike starts to descend, partly on wooden steps and partly on rocky nature trails. You pass a lot of exciting rock formations and large cliffs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"interesting-flora-and-fauna\">Interesting flora and fauna<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There is a stock of hazel along the scree. The ground along the trail is calcareous, so there are both blue anemones and orchids to admire at different times of the year.
