Boa kyrkstig

Boa Kyrkstig or Boa Church path is just that – an old church path used by the people who lived in the village of Boa. In the past, the closest road to Okome Church went through the forest, which was quite a trip – about six kilometers each way. Today, of course, this makes for a wonderful hike, especially if you’ve got a comfortable pair of shoes on, and a flask of coffee in your backpack. Along the way, you will find some flat boulders, or ‘rest stones’ where you can take a breather. The landscape alternates between mighty beech forests and stately coniferous trees interspersed with open areas as you vend your way through the path. You might encounter small pools of water along the way. The area is generally a bit rocky and signposted clearly with yellow markings. There is a small parking lot in Boa which also has signs that guide you to the path. If you start in Okome instead, the signs start at this coordinate 57.055833, 12.706972. You can park at Okome Church and walk along Gällsåsvägen and then Furulidsvägen until you reach the signs.
