Hiking for beginners - 13 Sept 2026

Do you want to learn more about hiking and outdoor-life? Then this activity is perfect! 

In collaboration with the Uppsala local branch of the Swedish Tourist Association (Svenska Turistföreningen - STF) and Student Health Service at Uppsala University, we invite you to a hike where you will learn what to consider before going out hiking, practical information about the right of way, equipment and other things that are good to keep in mind when going on an easy hiking trip

Welcome to a free introduction to hiking and outdoor life in nature close to urban areas - a chance to discover the joy of being outdoors together!

During an easy hike of approximately 2–3 km (1–2 miles), you will be guided by the enthusiastic hike leaders Lena and Linus, who will share tips and inspiration about the Right of Public Access (Allemansrätten), practical outdoor equipment, and how to find great hiking trails.

The introduction is specially designed for people who are new to nature activities and would like to try outdoor life in a simple and safe way. Together, we will explore nature at a relaxed pace, learn new things, and enjoy fresh air and good company.

We will finish with a cozy outdoor "fika".
