Discover Trädet: Kronogården and trails in the Ätradalen

Trädet is an interesting starting point for anyone who wants to combine nature, history and longer trails during their trip. Kronogården is particularly distinctive: the authentic 19th-century farm combines a rural atmosphere with several opportunities to explore the surrounding area. Those looking for a holiday apartment or holiday home in Trädet can therefore base their choice of accommodation on whether short walks, historical impressions or longer routes are the main priority.

Kronogården: Farm, museum and local history

Kronogården is home to an agricultural museum in a barn. There is also an exhibition about Trädets bryggeri. This makes it possible to combine time outdoors with an insight into the area’s farming and local history. The nature trails at Kronogården start and finish at Kronogården in Trädet. They run alongside horse paddocks, fields and meadows, offering a landscape that clearly differs from an urban environment.

For a shorter outing, the Kronogården trail is 1.9 kilometres long. It has been adapted for accessibility and is suitable for wheelchairs and prams. This is a practical option for visitors who prefer a manageable trail or who are travelling with a group whose members have different needs. Those who want to allow more time can consider the longer routes around Trädet.

Two long trails with different routes

The Pilgrimsleden norra Ätradalen is 39 kilometres long. It begins at Kronogården in Trädet and leads to Skottek in the southern part of Ulricehamn city centre. In the wider regional area, the Pilgrimsleden Norra Ätradalen connects Falbygden and Ätradalen. The trail is marked with posts bearing the Sankt-Olofs Cross.

The Redvägsleden is 47 kilometres long and runs between Lassalyckan and Trädet. This trail can be started at Kronogården in Trädet. Along part of its route, the Redvägsleden follows the winding course of the Ätran through Ätradalen. Along the Redvägsleden there are several rest areas with fire pits and wind shelters for overnight stays. The section where the Redvägsleden runs parallel to the Dalumsleden is marked in yellow.

This information can help with planning your trip without requiring you to use all the trails: the 1.9-kilometre Kronogården trail is suitable for a short outdoor outing, while the Pilgrimsleden norra Ätradalen and Redvägsleden offer considerably longer routes. When looking for accommodation in Trädet, you can therefore first decide whether you are planning short daily excursions or a stay that includes longer sections of trail.

Landscape around Trädet

Frälsegården lies south of Trädet. There, the Ulricehamnsåsen is particularly prominent in the form of ridges and hills. Frälsegården is located on the road between Falköping and Ulricehamn; a small access road into the protected area leads to a car park and an information board. This specific detail is just as useful for finding your way around as the markings and starting points of the trails described above.

There is also a relevant option for broader regional planning: Ätradalsleden is a 199-kilometre cycle route between Falköping and Falkenberg. Of this distance, 146 kilometres run entirely along a car-free railway track. Those who want to combine Trädet with additional stages can consider this regional cycle route as another option.
