Hiking

In the splendid surroundings of Säfsen, you can embark on short and easy family outings, as well as more demanding long hikes. The journey to the many delightful nature spots is just as rewarding as the destinations themselves. For those seeking a bit more of a challenge, there's also organized wilderness hiking in hilly terrain. For these adventures, sturdy rubber boots are essential, as the trail lacks defined paths. Hiking maps are available for collection at the reception in Hyttan.

Säfsnäs Homestead Park

Säfsnäs Homestead Park

Säfsnäs Homestead Park, often considered Fredriksberg's best-kept secret, is a collection of historic buildings from the Säfsnäs region. These include a smokehouse, barn, pole shed and water mill, with 'Rik-Mats' cabin highlighting the early 1600s svedjefinnar era, associated with the practice of slash-and-burn agriculture. The park also commemorates the ironworks period from the 1720s to the early 1900s, featuring a piece of rail from the narrow-gauge railway. It showcases the 20th century’s sawmill and paper mill history, including a simple mill used for paper production. The park is a starting point for nature trails, including a 3.3 km route around Mellansjön, and hosts various activities like heritage walks and midsummer celebrations.
