Byabäcken Nature Trail leads through dense spruce forests and wooded pastures, ending in an open traditional rural landscape where you can see grazing livestock in summer. Follow Länsitie road to the starting point. If you go off the trail for a short distance, you will reach a campsite where overnight camping is also allowed. While the nature trail is mostly fairly wide, there is a rather steep climb at the beginning. Otherwise the trail is quite easy.

The trail is marked with orange markings.
The start of Byabäcken Nature Trail is at the parking area on Länsitie road.
You first descend to the pedestrian bridge across Byabäcken stream. This is followed by a fairly steep climb through a spectacular spruce forest, and after 300 metres, you can catch your breath at Ängesböle campsite or even stay overnight.
Behind the campsite with its lean-tos, dry toilets and campfire sites, there is the reservable campfire site of Bergström croft. A water point is available from spring to autumn.
After returning to the nature trail, you walk through a coniferous forest, until you reach a lush pasture grazed by livestock in summer.
The landscape opening out when you walk downhill towards the open pasture and farmland is exceptionally impressive. In addition to cattle, you may also see many butterflies and other species.
After crossing the stream, you climb up a sloping meadow and follow Länsitie road for the rest of the way.
