July 14, 2023,Ransäter to Hagfors

Today we completed the Klarälvsbanan (South) cycling route today towards Uddeholm / Hagfors and parted with Klarälven river.

We left the campsite and headed back over the bridge towards the cycling path. Gorgeous stretch today as well of relatively flat (though going slightly up) path all the way tuo Hagfors.
