Hovdala hundslinga (dog trail)

Hovdala hundslinga is a 6 kilometres activity trail on which you and your dog can go on a playful walk together and exercise using the natural features of the site. The dog-walkers’ trail follows parts of the Finjasjöleden trail and passes through the Dalleröd broad-leaf forest.

In view of the animal and bird life in the area, you must keep your dog on a lead during your walk. To provide a chance to move around freely and to have some fun and games, there is a large enclosure at the start of the dog-walkers’ trail by the southern shore of Lake Finjasjön, also known as the Gold Coast.
