Slåttdalsskrevan from Skuleskogen's southern entrance

From Entré Syd, the southern entrance to Skuleskogen National Park, boardwalks lead north through the forest and over wet ground, then the path climbs into Slåttdalen, the valley below Slåttdalsberget. It goes on along the west side of Slåttdalsskrevan, on boardwalks and rock, to the north end of the cleft, where you can look down its length between walls 30 m high, only 7 m apart. Return the same way.

It is 7 km there and back with 192 m of ascent; allow about 2½ hours. The grade is Easy, but the ground is rough: roots, rock and some steep climbs.

The passage through the cleft has been closed since June 2023 because of falling rock; the path now runs round its west side. The national park says many of its paths are steep and demanding. Dogs must be on a lead all year, and fires are allowed only at the set places from 1 May to 30 September. There is no drinking water at the entrances, so bring your own. Snow can lie into May.

Entré Syd is signed from the E4 about 2 km north of Docksta, then 8 km along a minor road. The car park closes to cars when it is full, which in summer 2026 happened almost every day for weeks.
