DESCRIPTION OF THE TRIP
From the car park at Slättansvallen, follow the path along
Ljusnan south side. The first 2.5 kilometers are very easy,
and goes after a clear path. During the florescence, July and
first half of August you may see several rare orchids. When
you have passed over the hanging bridge and reached Klinken
on the north side of Ljusnan, you are in the beginning of the
well-known Kungsleden.
Enchanting mountain viws
Here you can choose to go north to Fältjägarstugan and
Helags or south towards Fjällnäs and Rogen area. But we
continue to walk further along Ljusnan valley. This part of the
trip is not signposted depending on political decisions.
Take the small path that continues along Ljusnan northern
side, and where it makes a sharp left turn. On the other side is
a beautiful old mountain farm that gives you a sense of past
times. It not take long before you’re out on the old hayfields
along Ljusnan, and here you can see, during the month of
July, the rare black vanilla orchid, a small red-black and vanilla
scented beauty. After about 2 km walk you will see Tvärån
running down the Ljusnan from the right. Continue up along
the right side, and you will now be able to experience all these
wonderful rushing waterfalls that make Tvärån so special.
After about 1 km up, where the river turns sharply left, continue along the right side and pass over the little creek running
down from the right. After a few hundred meters the river
turns back up again and you are almost by the waterfall that
we call ”Tväråpoolen”,. This is a fantastic waterfall and with
the mountains own jacuzzi. Here you can on a hot day enjoy a
bath you’ll never forget. Be careful and watch out for strong
underwater currents.
Walk a few hundred meters further up, and you will find a
perfect resting place, a beautiful waterfall, fireplace, and fine
natural seating on rocks. Take a break and enjoy the surroundings, perhaps a little coffe from a boiler or why not a little
yellow fried chanterelles.
Time to turn back down Tväråns winding valley down to Ljusnan and turn left to Klinken and the bridge.

DESCRIPTION OF THE TRIP
For those who want to continue up to the high mountain, you
can walk up the river and then you are soon up at the tree
line, where everything opens up with a wonderful view. When
you now choose to leave the noise from the river and walk to
the northeast of the high mountain plateau towards Giertebaune (private cottage).
Take the mountain map with sheetname Z8 or Z56 and a
compass with you to be sure on the direction. Go up in the
mountains and take direction back to Kungsleden, if visibility
is good, you can now see Giertebaune cottage.
