Sörmland Trail, Hiking trail network in Södermanland, Sweden
The Sörmland Trail is a hiking network extending over 1000 kilometers through forests, lakes, and rocky terrain across multiple municipalities south of Stockholm. The system includes 62 main sections and 36 connecting routes marked with orange blazes on trees and posts.
The trail was established in 1973 as Sweden's first lowland hiking network, connecting numerous villages and communities across the region. This founding shaped the development of long-distance trails elsewhere in the country.
The trail passes historic castles and connects rural communities that reflect traditional life in the region. Hikers encounter old farmsteads along the way and see how the landscape has been shaped by generations of people.
The trail network features regular shelters and water sources positioned along the route, allowing hikers to rest between sections. It is wise to visit during dry weather and wear sturdy footwear, as the terrain is uneven in many places.
The route passes by Vensbrinksberget, the highest peak in the region, and crosses through forest sections in Tyresta National Park with ancient tree growth. These areas showcase nature that has remained largely unchanged for centuries.
