Hiking trails

The Romboleden trail is a marked summer trail through Skarddøra. It runs along the old pilgrim route from Sweden to Nidaros. You can start at Sylsjøen in Sweden and follow the path to Stugudalen in Tydal. Other than this, there are very few marked trails within the conservation area, but there are nice hiking opportunities along marked trails in the peripheral areas of Stugudalen, Brekken, and Vauldalen; see www.ut.no.

Cycling

It is important to note that cycling is not permitted along all paths within the protected areas. This is to conserve the marsh and vulnerable vegetation in the area. Cycling is now permited in the landscape conservation area along Hyllingsdalsvegen, starting from the parking lot at Torsvollen. This is a pleasant walk along an old farm track. In addition, you can cycle along roads and tracks in Ridalen. If you take Vauldalen as your starting point, you can cycle Krokvegen towards Gruvsjøen, and the track road further over Gruvsjøfjellet to Hydda at Hyddkroken.

Electric bikes are considered motorized traffic in conservation areas and are strictly prohibited.

Paddling

There are no restrictions on paddling. The Hyllingen and the waterways at Rien are great for paddling by kayak and canoe.
