In some places the ground is quite wet, so you walk partly on wooden planks through the Swedish primeval forest.

The path indicated on the Komoot Map leads over several steep, wobbly ladders up the cliff, along a small stream of water if it has been rainy. Good shoes are a must and some scrambling experience is quite helpful. Do not attempt to go up or down if it is/has been freezing! Up is easier than down, definetly dangerous for small kids, so plan accordingly. Very close to Skäktefallet, which is always worth a visit
