Tvåälvsleden trail

Here my older post for context asking about hikes in Umea:

https://www.reddit.com/r/umea/comments/1ww342j/hikes_around_umea/

What is your opinion on Tvåälvsleden trail? Is it feasible under 10h? Is the trail well-indicated? Where can I get a physical map? Downloadable one?

I just want to end to Vindeln.

I hiked along Tvåälvsleden with my family when i was about 6 years old. I have no idea how long it took, or wether I hinked the whole trip or just a part of it. However, I do remember the view in the late summer being lovely! Honestly, one of my core memories haha

I'd definitely recommend it, and I think a ten hour window seems pretty realistic, considering it's under 30km. If you start in Vindeln and finish is Granö, I'd also recommend checking out Granö Beckasin. They have good food and the vibe is extra nice efter being out in the forrest imo :)

TY! The only downside is the dependence to public transport. Last bus I checked is 10pm and I dont wanna stay the night.

What is the expectation? Would rather head to skuleskogen, that one is pretty boring. Nice trail run though!

I read that the trail is older so it might be not as well indicated, but i'll try. Wont die if I get lost.
