Oak pasture, lakes and an old estate landscape. Stenhammar gives you plenty of reasons to put on walking shoes and leave town for a while. Choose the Stenhammarsrundan loop near Flen or a walk inside the nature reserve.
Choose your loop
Stenhammarsrundan is 4.8 kilometres long, passing around Hammarvallen, beside Lake Gårdsjön and through oak pasture towards the palace. Visit Flen describes this loop as suitable for pushchairs and wheelchairs. Naturkartan shows the route.
For a longer outing, Lidarundan covers 7.4 kilometres through oak pasture, Stenhammar, Lida gård and Lake Gårdsjön. It has its own map and is a separate alternative to Stenhammarsrundan.
Explore the nature reserve
Inside the nature reserve, coniferous woodland, pasture and old oaks surround Lake Valdemaren. Stone walls and an ancient hillfort offer traces of the landscape’s past. Bring a picnic and leave time to pause by a tree or a view.
A marked loop of about 2.5 kilometres starts at the reserve’s southern car park beside road 55. The trail from the northern car park is closed until further notice, according to the County Administrative Board. Choose the southern starting point and use the reserve’s official map.
Before you set off
Stenhammar palace and its park are closed to the public. Your outing follows the surrounding walking routes; respect the signs and stay outside the park.
The municipal loop and reserve trails have different surfaces and starting points. The pushchair and wheelchair information applies to the 4.8-kilometre Stenhammarsrundan loop. Tourist information can help with access enquiries. Find current trail notices and maps in the links below.
