Andkil hiking trail consists of two sections—one that's 1.7 km and a longer route of nearly 9 km. The first part of the longer section involves climbing terrain, partly over cliffs and stones. It then continues through forests, fields, and open landscapes. The trail's highest point is a full 52 meters above sea level. Later in the trail, there are places marked with signs, where the names are written in dialect. The place names have arisen through old legends. Let your imagination run wild and invent the stories behind these names. Signs can direct you to the trail from Rejpeltvägen/Torrkullvägen heading toward Kondivorvägen.

Tyrgärdback, or “Tyrjäälback,” is likely an ancient assembly and sacrificial site.
In addition to being the god of war, Tyr was also considered a cautious jurist who weighed matters fairly and granted justice in an appropriate way.
For this reason, it is believed that the place served as an ancient assembly site as far back as the 7th century. In order to quickly outcompete paganism, missionaries often managed to obtain permission to build a church right on the site of the old assembly.
