\n\t\t\t\tHigh above the Kv\u00e6fjord, there is a path filled with many stories. Explore the old farm culture, say hello to the sheep, watch for the ghost, and above all, take in the grand views\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\n\t\t<\/div>\n\n\n

The trail from Skallan to R\u00e5 follows the borderline between cultivated farmland and the forest. In the days of traditional farming, people relied on this trail for their everyday tasks. Dairy maids would come here to milk cows in the summer, men would stay up here to cut peat, boys would guard the livestock, and people were even buried here many centuries ago. Today, this area is a heritage landscape full of memories of traditional life. The best part, however, is the frame of lush forest, green fields, and wide panoramas. On a rainy day in late August, I shook hands with my local guide, Bj\u00f8rn Welde, from Kv\u00e6fjord. We then set out to explore this trail that he knows so well<\/p>\n\n\n\t
