A scenic road over bridges and past cultural environments and farm shops.
Sirkövägen runs straight through Åsnen, via peninsulas and islands connected by two bridges. This is a scenic road in the true sense of the word! The road is winding and quite narrow, and it runs past old environments and beautiful houses, through arches of sheer deciduous forest and shimmering pink meadow orchards, and there are lovely farm shops and cafés. Cars, motorcycles, motorhomes, cyclists and work vehicles share this stretch – so, slow down and show consideration for each other and everyone who lives along the road!

Åsnen National Park’s main entrance Sunnabron is located in the heart of fantastic deciduous forest and has been made easily accessible on foot.

If you continue along the path, you will reach Bjurkärr where there is another weather building and barbecue places. In Bjurkärr you can breathe in the clean air and look for rare, red-listed lichens and mosses, insects and other things that show the great variety of species found here. Look at the trees – the delicate tree lungwort, which needs clean air, grows on many of them!
