Gräne Mine

The area around the old Gräne Mine has a number of hiking trails. Trail No. 1 runs for 1,800 metres up to the top of the hill. There are picnic tables both at the top of the hill and along the trail. Both rest areas have a fantastic view of Lake Hallången. Trail No. 2 is 3,600 metres long, initially follows the old railway embankment and crosses the bridge before turning north towards goat ridges, kettle holes, water locks and other sights, after which you turn back to the mine. Work on a “troll” trail of approximately 400 metres began in 2020 and is due for completed in 2021.

This is directly adjacent to the mine and there is information on local flora and fauna along the trail, where we hope the occasional troll may be spotted among the rocks. Trail No. 3 runs from the car park northwards up to the south of Lake Holsjön, then past Fäxhult’s Mineral Springs, and past Fäxhult’s Cave to end in our Rhododendron Park. Rhododendron Park now has around 500 bushes, which we hope will bloom in May and June; take the time to sit and meditate by one of the three ponds.

Next to our barbecue area is a roofed shelter and windbreak. Our popular Trollstig (troll trail) is nearby with Gruve the mine troll, and an adjoining play area, also under expansion.
