Audio Guide of Sörmlandsleden in Trosa

As an outdoor nature trail, Sörmlandsleden is open 24 hours a day all year round. Access from Trosa is very easy, as the town connects directly to key stages such as 55 and 56; look for the orange markers that indicate the start of the path near the harbor or the town center.

No, access to the trail is completely free thanks to Sweden’s right of public access (Allemansrätten). However, the association that maintains it appreciates donations or memberships, and you can find more information on its official website.

For an enjoyable, unhurried experience, we recommend setting aside between 3 and 5 hours. This will allow you to complete a standard stage of around 10–12 km around Trosa and enjoy the scenic stops overlooking the archipelago.

The trail crosses an ancient cultural landscape, passing remains of Iron Age settlements and old mining areas. Walking here means connecting with the rural history of Södermanland and seeing how nature has reclaimed former industrial zones.

The months from June to August offer the best weather and long days, ideal for coastal hiking. Alternatively, September and October are fantastic for avoiding crowds and enjoying the vibrant autumn colors of the Swedish forests.

Most of Sörmlandsleden is uneven forest terrain with roots and rocks, so it is not suitable for wheelchairs. However, the stretches that run along the canal and waterfront promenade within the town of Trosa itself are flat and accessible.

Take the opportunity to explore the picturesque center of Trosa with its wooden houses and the river, known as 'The End of the World.' In addition, the trail passes near the magnificent Tullgarn Palace, an unmissable royal residence.

Wear sturdy, waterproof footwear, as the ground can be wet, and make sure to bring water and food for a fika break. We also recommend stopping by the Trosa Tourist Office beforehand to get an up-to-date printed map of the local stages.
