Hiking loop in Bankeryd

Hike along the steep shores of lake Vättern and through Backamoskogen on the beautiful Domsandspåret. Choose between circular routes of 5 and 7 km.

The trail takes you through Backamoskogen, a popular outdoor area with steep shorelines along the Vätterstranden. Between Domsand in the west and Vidablick in the east, the path runs along the shore ridge, offering a magical view over lake Vättern.
