Cycling and trails around Klövsjö

A family-friendly cycling route combines nature experiences with local places to visit. It starts at the tourist information office in Klövsjö and ends in the village after 18 kilometres. There are also cycling and running routes in and around Klövsjö, crossing cross-country terrain on small gravel roads and trails. Updated cycling maps are available for the routes, and bicycles can be rented. Maps and rental options may change, so it’s best to check these details in advance.

There’s a choice of walks and hikes, too: routes, roads and trails of varying difficulty run around Klövsjö, including options for both short and longer outings. The Fäbodturen trail starts at Klövsjöfjäll Hotel and follows the cross-country ski track. Some sections have wooden boardwalks. Fettjeåfallet waterfall is more than 60 metres high—a striking natural feature that offers a glimpse into the surrounding landscape.

Cultural history and summer farms

Klövsjö by och fäbodar (Z 49) is a cultural environment of national significance in Berg Municipality. It includes the village and its associated summer farms, several of which are still in operation. There are around 40 summer farms and archaeological cultural landscapes around the village. The connection between the village and summer farming shapes the area’s cultural character as much as its history.

By 1520 at the latest, a wooden chapel stood at the present site of Klövsjö Church. The church itself was built between 1795 and 1797 by master builder Pål Persson from Stugun. Its black sheet-metal roof is also noteworthy: it is considered unique, as few roofs of this kind remain in Sweden, particularly in Jämtland. At Hembygdsgården Tomtan, the stories of the buildings date back to the 17th century. A visit offers a chance to explore different aspects of local history without conflating the dates of the chapel, church and farmstead.
