The Carl Larsson trail

The Carl Larsson trail has existed since the 1980s and mainly runs in easy-to-hike terrain. Start from the Shooting Pavilion at Lugnet and hike the 8.5 km long trail between Falun and Sundborn. The trail is called the Carl Larsson Trail as the artist Carl Larsson and his family walked this route to get from Sundborn to the schoolhouse in central Falun. This hike takes about 2 hours.

The Carl Larsson trail may be closed due to military exercises as the trail passes a firing range.
