Hiking & relaxation

Brålands Gård boarders to a nature reserve and everybody who comes here is surprised over the wild and absolutely stunning and powerful nature. There is a 1 km long trail along the river which connects to the famous Bohusleden. Bohusleden reaches all the way from south of Gothenburg to Strömstad, just before the boarder to Norway. The trail is divided into 27 day´s march and number 16 Kaserna to Borgmästarbruket is connected to Brålands Gård.

Day 1
Self check-in from 3 PM. We have prepared maps with various hiking suggestions, including detailed information about the Bohusleden trail and recommended loop trails with start from the farm. We recommend a short hike to the impressive Brålandsfallet waterfall upon arrival, and if you’re lucky, you may see jumping Atlantic salmon in the falls. In our small farm shop, you can purchase local delicacies such as ice cream, elk sausage, local beer, and chips. Feel free to end the evening in one of our sauna tents from Bast or by the fire at one of our many BBQ spots.

Day 2
Stages 16 and 17 of the Bohusleden are considered some of the most beautiful sections of the entire trail. Here, you’ll follow the winding path of the Örekilsälven river up to Kärnsjön, where the agricultural landscape transitions into a wilderness feel as you walk into the vast forests. After a day of hiking, we suggest you relax in one of our sauna tents from Bast. You have free access to the sauna tents throughout your stay at the farm. Cleaning of the accommodation and bed linen are included in the package, but meals are not. The stay is self-catering, but we highly recommend visiting the farm shop. If you need to restock any food, the nearest grocery store is only 1 km away.

Day 3
Check-out by 11 AM. You can either hike a 6 km loop trail starting downstream from the farm today, instead of upstream like yesterday, or we recommend a couple of shorter hikes just a short distance from the farm. These options will allow you to head back home, recharged and full of new experiences and memories.

Strömman Nature Reserve is known for its steep mountain slopes, deep ravines, and wild forests. Here, you hike through a dramatic landscape with traces of the Ice Age, such as giant kettles and polished rocks. At one point, the Bohusleden trail crosses from one side of the river, Munkedalsälven, to the other using a raft. This is where your adventurous spirit comes into play, as you’ll need to brave the rushing water—an exciting experience for the whole family! The raft can be found on Bohusleden stage 15. We suggest you start at Kaserna and hike a loop trail past the raft and back to Kaserna, approximately a 2-hour hike.

Maltes Stig offers a beautiful hike along Gullmarsfjorden, leading you to the innermost point of the fjord. Here, you can enjoy the peaceful nature and stunning views of the water and surrounding landscape. This scenic trail is part of Kuststigen, where the surrounding beauty invites you to pause and take in the serenity of the fjord. With easy access close to the motorway, it’s the perfect escape for a short adventure, offering both tranquility and breathtaking views along the way.

Bohusleden Stage 16: Kaserna – Borgmästarbruket

Welcome to Bohusleden, a 27-stage trail covering approximately 340 km of beautiful and varied nature in Bohuslän. The trail stretches from Lindome in the south to Strömstad in the north.

Stage 16 of Bohusleden takes you through a scenic journey in Munkedal, offering flowing rivers, rocky shores, and lush forests. A perfect blend of nature and history, this stage provides a rich hiking experience just minutes away from the town yet still immersed in the wild beauty of Bohuslän.

Starting at the Kaserna Canoe Center, the trail follows Munkedalsälven and Örekilsälven, two stunning rivers that are home to beavers, kingfishers, and Atlantic salmon. Along the way, you’ll pass historic dams built for Munkedal’s paper mill, where the beavers thrive, and possibly spot them building their impressive dams from branches and mud.

Örekilsälven, Bohuslän’s second-largest river, is a prime location for salmon fishing from May to September, and its banks are home to a variety of bird species like the dipper and the wagtail. Don’t miss Brålandsfallet, the largest waterfall in Örekilsälven, where fish ladders have been built to help salmon reach Kärnsjön.

The trail also offers interesting detours:

  • Kaserna: Visit the childhood home of author Pontus Wikner, now a local heritage site.
  • Munkedal Town: A short detour (2.5 km) to the town center, where you’ll find public transport, supplies, and local attractions, including Munkedals Herrgård and a historic stone bridge.

End your hike at Borgmästarbruket, a preserved industrial site with sawmills, mills, and homes, offering a glimpse into Munkedal’s early industrial history. Take a moment to enjoy a packed lunch by the river.

Length & Difficulty: 6 km, moderate
Surface: Forest path and asphalt
Time: 2-3 hours
