Såg & Damm Hiking trails
In the autumn of 2020, Svågaleden was changed
on a distance at Brännås.
During the 2021 marking, ideas were created
for 2 new trails.
Both starts at the old Ramsågen just
before arriving at Brännås.
Either you go the trails separately
or you can merge both to a longer distance.
Såg Trail.
Consists of 3-4 short steep slopes up and down along
the north side of Svågan.
Good with rods. Same start as the Damm trail.
When you get down to Brännåsdammen
you go over to the north side
and then turn down to the right.
The trail follows the river to the east
and follows so nicely close to Svågan.
You have to watch a little where you put your feet
for Beavers have built huts in several places
and there may bee holes in the ground.
When the slope gets too close you have to go up the hill
but then it goes down again. Also watch out for the little trolls,
there is a portable hollow tree that you can try to look into
to look for trolls.
The trail comes out on the paved country road
and there you go west towards Brännås over the big bridge.
On the other side, turn down to the right
and follow Svågan again before getting out on the road again
just before the starting point at Ramsågen.
Description of the frame saw is available on site.
Feel free to walk a bit along the brook in the magical nature.
Trail length about 2 km
Damm trail.
Follow the paved country road north about 200 m
before crossing it on a small gravel road
follows it down towards Brännåsdammen, but turns off just before
the dam and follows a small path in the direction of Brännås.
The path runs along the sand ridge above Svågan.
You can glimpse the water during all the way on the ridge
and it's like a lake because it's dammed.
The path turns off down to Jubbabron where you cross
on the north side of the river, but before doing so
is the tip to walk a small distance about 150 m.
along Svågan north where you reach Strömhällan.
Here the river is almost dry because the water is led
under the river channel and comes up here below Strömhällan,
but there are some gutters and some small casings
as many usually swim in.
You can also see finely ground holes where stones
lay and spun around in the water and created these.
When you then cross the bridge, you follow a narrow gravel road
back east to the trail turns off onto a nice base road
which leads down to the Brännås dam.
Here you have two choices, either you cross the pond and go back
to the old sawmill, 2.6 km, or you turn on to the Såg trail
and extends the hike by about 1700 m.
Trail length about 2,6 km
