Welcome to Linnémarschen is Sweden´s largest hiking event and 2015 marks the 39th event in unbroken succession. Our goal is to be the obvious choice for anyone who likes to walk in the countryside, whether you are a long or short distance walker, a fast or easy going walker you will enjoy the forests around Borås . Since 2012 Linné marsch /walk is part of the IML, which is the International Association of hikes all over the world. IML encourages participation at walking events in other countries. As part of this we are launching IML Nordic, which is a collaboration with IML walks in Denmark, Norway and Finland. IML Nordic aims to encourage people to participate in hikes in their neighbouring country, which might be a first step towards longer treks out into the world. We also continue to develop the Sunday Availability Courses that we introduced in 2014. At this years hike you can, if you like, try the Flex- O , which is a way of making the orientation accessible to people with different types of disabilities. Flex -O is a project run by “O-ringen”, the world’s largest orienteering event, which takes place in Borås 18th-24th July 2015. Every year we receive many interesting suggestions on how we can develop Linné marsc /walk and make it an even better experience. Maybe your idea will become a reality in 2016 (23-24 April) when Linnémarschen celebrates 40 years of successive events, 270 years after Carl von Linné´s hiking trip in our area. A very warm welcome to Linnémarschen 2015
Carl Linnaeus (1707 - 1778)
Internationally, Linnaeus is perhaps Sweden’s most famous person. As he travelled around the countryside, he made detailed notes of the flora, fauna and geology. Linnaeus visited Borås in 1746 and was impressed by the richness of the landscape. He called the Rya
Åsar hills the ”Alps of Västra Götaland”. This area is now a nature reserve and much of the Walk leads through its beautiful countryside. The Linnémarschen Walk is a great way to enjoy a day of healthy activity with friends in beautiful natural surroundings.
S wed en ’s l a r g e s t w a l k i n g eve n t !
A treat for all your senses. Linnémarschen 2015 offers varied pleasures in beautiful springtime countryside. Spend one or two days with your family or friends on adventurous walks through Swedish forests, with a choice of distances from 6 km to 42 km. What better way to greet the spring!
SATURDAY 25TH APRIL
SUNDAY 26TH APRIL
Starts between 8 and 9 a.m. Official mass start at 8 a.m. Walking time: 7 to 10 hours.
Starts between 8 and 10 a.m. Official mass start at 8 a.m. Walking time: 3.5 to 5 hours. Sunday’s 21 km route through the Rya Åsar nature reserve is a challenging walk that exercises mind and body. The first section is very hilly, so it’s a good idea to take it easy in the beginning. Once you reach the top, you are rewarded with an amazing view from Ryssby Klint. The walk then leads you past Ryssby pond, Hestrastugan, Sjögården and Hästhagen. Continue to Ramshulan via Almenäs and below the scree slopes on Rya Åsar, through Björbo’s meadows of wood anemone to the finish in Borås Arena.
