I have linked all 3 possible hiking loops, resulting in an 80% hike on marked trails and a 20% cross-country hike. However, I would recommend the northern and southern parts. If you park the car at Grundskatan, you have the Cafe Fyren halfway through the route and at the end the opportunity to swim at the sandy beach. Because it is not only a nature reserve but also one with history, you can learn interesting things from the many information boards. Definitely suitable for families.

A beautiful but unfortunately rather short hike (I have already extended the route quite a bit). Impressive rapids line the path over the numerous bridges. You can also eat at the Wild River restaurant afterwards. It's quite expensive but very tasty.

This time the weather was much better, making a tour possible. Due to the length, it ended up being only half of about 30 km. You can find the entire tour here; https://www.visitskelleftea.se/sv/295763/Vandring-i-Kalvtrask/

The hike starts at the Åmsele campsite and passes through small villages, through the forest and along the water. Since at the beginning I initially went in a different direction, one could certainly have walked further. But I saved that for the next day, the 2nd part of the Isälvsleden. The route is also very suitable for mountain bikers. There are many great trails especially around the lake.

Since the northern part looked more varied to me, I decided to start from Valfrid Paulssonsreservatet on the second day. And definitely: many lakes, uphill and downhill, and then a rowing session. It doesn't get more varied than that. However, when rowing, it should be noted that there is always a boat on each side. This means you have to row 3 times per crossing. But since it is only a short distance, it should not cause any problems. Otherwise, it is also described again at the dock. However, this part is only suitable for experienced mountain bikers because the paths are quite narrow and steep downhill on both sides. Otherwise, you just have to push in stages.

    Das Gebiet lohnt! Toll ist die Felsküste im Osten und bei gutem Wetter die teils einsamen Badestrände im Nord-Westen. Und der Leuchtturm natürlich. Zwischendurch aber auch immer mal etwas langweilige Feldwege. Den Süden haben wir ausgelassen da es den Kindern zu viel wurde.
