Tomteland is located in the village of Gesunda at the foot of Gesundaberget. Choosing the area for a stay gives you a clear connection to the landscape; views, pilgrimage history and hiking trails each offer a different focus. When searching for a holiday rental, you can consider whether to focus on the mountain and trails, or also include swimming and the present-day use of Malibambo.

Gesundaberget and the view

Gesundaberget rises 353 metres above Siljan and is 514 metres above sea level. These figures refer to different elevations: one measured from Siljan, the other from sea level. The view is also a defining feature of the mountain: it was awarded three stars in the Michelin Green Guide. This makes Gesundaberget a distinct focus for a stay in Gesunda, whether or not you also plan to visit one of the trails described here.

Hiking: the blue route and the Romboleden

The blue route climbs all the way up Gesundaberget and descends steeply on the far side. It then passes through Borrbergs fäbod to Mångbergs fäbod, where there is a lovely bathing spot. The return to Gesunda follows gravel roads. So when planning, bear in mind that the route includes not only the ascent but also the steep descent and the return along gravel roads. Check trail conditions before setting out.

The Romboleden, Sweden’s longest pilgrimage trail, offers a different perspective; its origins date back to the 11th century. The Dala-Floda–Sollerön stage passes Åsengården and Gesunda. It is described as a four-day hike on fäbod paths through an area reminiscent of the 16th century. When planning your trip, you can weigh the specific terrain of the blue route against the Romboleden stage, which is described as a four-day hike. Check the stage details again before setting out.

Swimming and Malibambo

The bathing spot near Mångbergs fäbod is along the blue route. On warm days, you can swim in Aurorasjön. These are two different ways to include time by the water in your travel plans: as a stop at the end of the route described, or as a swimming activity on warm days.

Today, Malibambo is used for church services, Mass, meditation and yoga. At Malibambo on the Siljansleden, there is also a shelter, an overnight hut and a spring. If you plan to visit the huts or the spring, check conditions before your visit.

These differences can help you decide what to focus on when choosing a holiday rental: Gesundaberget and the blue route offer specific connections to the landscape and hiking, while the Romboleden brings in a multi-day pilgrimage hike with historical significance. Swimming and the present-day use of Malibambo add other interests to consider when planning your days.
