About This Adventure

There is a beautiful 2km 'ridge' walk that extends out, on a decent path, from nearby the farm into the centre of the marsh we use in our 6km winter safari.

At that point, the path peters out and you might spot an unexpecting herd of reindeer grazing in the distance.

Going out and back will add up to an hour to your overall farm tour but this trail is only accessible in winter by ski or snowshoe. Berry picking and mushroom hunting are great fun on this path in the autumn season. Walking the local ridgeline trail with a dog of your choice will add up to an hour to your overall farm tour.
