Kävsjön runt

This hike takes you around the entire lake Kävsjön where many bird species nest.

You can do the walk all year round but note that the trail often runs next to Kävsjön's bird sanctuary, which you’re not allowed to enter between March 1 and August 15. The bird sanctuary is marked with yellow signs. The trail runs mostly through forests; some are open pine forests and others are dense spruce forests. The trail has detours to several bird towers where you have a view of Kävsjön and its surrounding quagmire. On the eastern side of the lake, the trail reaches the raised bog itself for a shorter section. The trail runs on both board walks and uneven forest paths that can have a lot of tree roots.

The hike can be started at four different entrances: naturum, Kävsjö, Svänö and Östra Rockne. The trail passes several rest areas in the park.
