Gyltige, Håraltsjön Runt - vit led

The white trail is the longest hiking trail that starts from Gyltige and Simlångsgården. If you choose to walk clockwise, the trail first goes along the paved road towards Lidhult to turn off after a short distance on a smaller forest road and then a smaller path that goes up towards the village of Håralt.

In Håralt there are several farms. A few kilometers after passing the village, you can glimpse Håraltasjön with both cliffs that go steeply down into the water and treacherous rocking planes floating on top of the water. On a late summer evening, you may well see the king of the forest come swimming in search of nutritious water lilies. In the past, the lake was used as a water reservoir for a number of grinding mills along the stream that runs towards the lake.

The white trail runs through large forests and close to the virtually untouched marshlands in the eastern part of Simlångsbygden. Here you can hear, and if you are lucky see, both capercaillie and black grouse. In these forests, lynx, bears and of course moose have been observed at regular intervals. Wild boar are also found here, but they are often very shy and difficult to spot. This trail is not yet marked on the map above.
