Stadssjön 3 km

The municipal nature reserve Stadssjön is a green oasis in the urban parts of the lake Hovran area. Hedemora municipality is now investing heavily in making the reserve accessible for all. Along the hiking trail you can walk or roll straight through wetlands, experience rainforest-like deciduous swamp forest, and look out over the open beach meadows where cows graze. From the newly built lookout tower you look out over the beautiful landscape. If you are lucky, the sea eagle can come gliding, or you can hear the finch singing. During spring and autumn, the reserve is visited by large numbers of resting birds.

Length: 3.3 km. Difficulty: Easy. Foot bridges and wide gravel paths. Starting point: Follow the signs to Stadssjön and park diagonally at the row of birches. Then walk or roll the road around the old tip and you will come out to Stadssjön. Via the hiking trail and the approximately 300 m long footbridge, you can get around the Stadssjön nature reserve. Whether you walk, run, roll in a wheelchair, lie in a pram, or use a walker, you have the same opportunity to explore the area. If you also want to take the opportunity to visit the adjacent reserve Lilla älvgången, also accessible, you only need to cross the new bridge. Stadssjön is an outdoor area for both exercise and relaxation. The trail around Stadssjön is 3.3 km long starting from the car park. In 2021, a few more rest and viewpoints will be completed. Benches for rest will be placed and the entire destination will of course be signposted.
