A fantastic walk among pine heaths along a glacial gravel ridge.

The 11.5 km Hökensås trail starts and finishes at First Camp Hökensås. The trail is relatively easily walked and surfaces vary between wider forest paths, gentle narrow paths and smaller paths with tree roots and stones. On the walk you can stop by a babbling brook, make a detour to one of the fishing lakes the trail passes, and just enjoy the peace and quiet. Take time to stop and admire the natural formations up on the ridge and look down at the potholes bearing witness to the ravages of the Ice Age in this area.
