Heritage Trail

In the footsteps of the charcoal burners

Join us on a tour of historical surroundings and gain insight into how people lived in the past. Rockdale takes you to an old mountain pasture where you can learn more about mountain pasture life and how the charcoal burners lived and worked.

Information about the tour

We hike and bring to life the Ancient Trail at the Skinnarbodarna pasture. The trail winds through many different types of nature, such as lush moss-covered spruce forest, marshland, and pine forest. Here you will find remnants of human activity, and the traces tell of people’s lives and living conditions long ago. On stones from the 1950s, there are carvings from the 1700s and 1800s, which we try to interpret. The tour is characterized by discoveries and stories.
