Accessibility

Several of the environments have been made available in Åsnen National Park and the opportunities for strong experiences are plenty. All visitors should be able to experience the national park in one way or another. Walking trails with good accessibility in the national park are marked yellow. From the national park entrance in Sunnabron that has  accessible lakeside wooden decks and wind shelters, a flat, wide trail leads to Bjurkärr. The rest stop at Bjurkärr marks the start of another trail to the most valuable broadleaf forest on the peninsula. Along the walking trail Skogsslingan, an observation platform with a ramp was built in order for e.g. wheelchairs and prams/strollers to come closer to the water. At national park entrance Trollberget there are also accessible trails to the national park entrance and along the shore of Åsnen, as well as a lakeside wooden deck and wind shelter. Besides the park entrances, there are also picnic areas and seating/benches in Bjurkärr, as well as along several of the trails.

• The car park in the main entrance Sunnabron holds about 40 passenger cars and two buses. There is also parking for disabled persons and bicycle parking. By the car park you also find information signs, toilets and waste disposal bins.
