Tips from locals
Beautiful nature. Nice walking between Sweden and Norway visting these historic Finnish farms.
Ritamäki was the last settlement in Värmland where descendants of the old Finnish settlers lived. Ritamäki and its surroundings are protected as a cultural heritage site and nature reserve. You can find rare plants and flowers here. From the parking at Lake Lomsen, you need to walk about 1,3 km uphill to arrive at the Ritamäki settlement. The Seven Croft Trail ends in Ritamäki. This is a beautiful 7,9 km long hiking trail, starting from the parking at Lake Lomsen and going past seven Finnish settlements in the area, in Norway and Sweden, including Ritamäki (www.visittorsby.se)
