There are hiking opportunities for everyone, for those who want to get out in the fresh air, those who want to find peace and quiet, those who want to spend time in the Norrbotten nature or those who want to reach an incredible view.  

The municipality of Boden has several beautiful mountain peaks to admire, with varying degrees of difficulty. The hiking trails in the municipality of Boden are unmarked.
Here are some suggestions for popular mountains to visit:  

  • Kvarnhusberget, Urstjärn (130 m above sea level): This is one of the lower peaks, but it has its charm. You can enjoy the forest environment and the view from this scenic area.  
     
     
  • Gruvberget, Boden (117 m above sea level): Gruvberget offers an exciting mix of history and nature. The area is known for its former mining operations and has now been transformed into beautiful forest land. 
     
  • Hänghuvudet, near Åträsket (268 m above sea level): Hänghuvudet is another interesting peak with beautiful views. The hilly terrain and dense forest give you the opportunity to experience northern Swedish nature at its best.

  • Åbojen, nature reserve SW of Klingersel/Brändberget (331 m above sea level): Åbojen is located in a beautiful nature reserve. Here you can experience the dense forest and perhaps catch a glimpse of some of the rare species that call this area home. 
     
     
  • Brännspiken, 7.5 km from Hapträsk (482 m above sea level): Brännspiken is the highest peak in the municipality of Boden and offers impressive panoramic views. It is definitely worth the effort to reach the top of this mighty mountain.

  • Klusåberget, nature reserve a few kilometers from Harads. Short hike. The road to the trailhead is difficult to drive on, but with a slightly higher car it is possible. 

 

  • NEW – hiking trail between Harads and Storklinten, 2.75 km – follow the red trail markings. Keep in mind that you may need to stay overnight, as the trail is long. 

These peaks give you the opportunity to explore the beautiful nature of Boden's surroundings and experience the varied landscape that Norrbotten has to offer. Whether you are looking for a challenge, a quiet hike or just want to enjoy nature.

Therefore, things like littering, destroying nature and long-term tent camps are violations of the right of public access.

Under the right of public access, you can go almost anywhere in nature, but not too close to houses. You may also spend one or two nights on someone else's land, pick flowers, berries and mushrooms as long as they are not protected, and swim, boat and paddle in waterways.

However, you are not allowed to pass over plots of land, gardens, plantations or fields with growing crops. You are also not allowed to drive motorized vehicles in the countryside, damage trees or bushes, or harm animals.

An important part of the right of public access is to always take all rubbish from the place you have visited. Litter destroys nature and risks making animals sick if they eat it. Rubbish is also boring to look at. If you find any, feel free to take other people's litter with you. Together we can ensure that the right of public access continues to function as it was intended.

The right of public access - what does it mean?

Friluftsfrämjandet protects the right of public access to preserve outdoor environments and make outdoor life possible for everyone. But why does the right of public access exist and what does it mean?

What is the right of public access?

Allemansrätten is a crucial prerequisite for outdoor recreation in Sweden. It allows us to hike, paddle and camp almost anywhere we want. Around 80% of the land in Sweden is owned by private individuals and companies, but thanks to the right of public access, we can move around on private land and roads. How amazing is that?

However, the right of public access is not only a right but also an obligation. When we spend time in nature, it is important to show consideration for nature, wildlife, landowners and other visitors.

The rules of the right of public access

The right of public access is included in the Constitution, but is technically not a law. However, it is surrounded by laws that set limits on what is allowed. The basic rule is not to disturb or destroy.
