Guided hike with snow shoes, tusedays and thursdays 2023

In the summer we offer extra snow shoe walks on Tuesdays and Thursdays. There are three different tours to choose from. Sign up to participate.

About the activity

We leave the safe walking path and enter the swampy bog land. We study peat mosses and have a close encounter with the carnivorous plants of the bog, as well as bird watching and other things we find on the tour. There are three alternatives to choose from:

Try on snowshoes

1 hour try on snowshoes with naturum guides who tell about the bog.

Equipment

Dress according to the weather. Out on the bog, there is little protection from sun and rain. A sunny day often gets very hot and a rainy day very wet. A hat and somewhat waterproof shoes are always good to have. Ruber boots are nice on very wet days, but seldom necessary. Don't forget your swimwear and binoculars.

Remember to bring water for the whole hike, as there are no places to refill your water bottle. On the longer trips we help carry lunch and coffee together, so save some space in your backpack.
