The first hiking days on spring 2026 - Day 6 Around the Sävsjö at Grums

9 °C, sunny, calm

The scenery around Lake Sävsjö was typically Swedish. The path ran very close to the small, tranquil lake. In places it was a bit stony and there were lots of roots on the ground. Despite the dense forest, we enjoyed full sunshine throughout the entire walk.

On the slightly higher plateau on the south side, there was a fork in the path and you could choose between the ‘älgstig’ and the ‘myrstig’. Both paths are roughly the same length. We opted for the ‘älgstig’. Unfortunately, we weren’t lucky enough to see any moose. However, there was plenty of moose droppings along the way, and we found several large, flattened patches hidden in the grass that looked very much like resting spots. There’s a good chance of encountering a moose here.

A definite highlight of this trail is the manual rope ferry that you can use to pull yourself across the lake.
It offers a very special, slightly different view of Lake Sävsjö.
If that’s too strenuous, you also have the option of taking an additional section via the “Meditations-stig” around the outside.

The path also leads past the “Fish and Camp” campsite, which has a bathing area, barbecue area and a kiosk.
