You can swim and fish at Lake Örlen. If you would rather be out on the water, you can paddle across Lake Örlen and continue via the Örlan to Lake Viken. A shorter hike is also available at Prästberget. The options therefore differ according to the kind of day you want: time by the water, a paddling trip, or exercise on land.

Exercise and views

The Fagersanna exercise trail is a 2.4 km illuminated running and exercise trail. It passes through gently rolling terrain; at several points, there are fine views of Lake Örlen. The stated distance thus combines exercise with small changes in elevation and views of the water. If you would like to include exercise in your day, you can consider the distance alongside these landscape features.

The trail also features Xrundan, a digital quiz walk. New questions are added every Sunday; check locally before your visit to see whether it is currently available. This lets you combine exercise on the trail with a quiz.

The options differ in the type of exercise: the exercise trail focuses on a specified running and exercise route with views; at Lake Örlen, you can paddle across the lake and continue via the Örlan to Lake Viken, while Prästberget offers a shorter hike. This distinction can help you decide whether your outing should focus on running, being on the water, or taking a shorter hike.
