A floodlit trail in winter, Finland

A floodlit trail (Norwegian: Lysløype; Swedish: Elljusspår) is an electrically illuminated trail, often completely or partly in a forest.[1]

Trails

[edit]

Floodlit trails are used for jogging or walking, even during hours of darkness. They often take the form of landscaped trails with gravel or woodchips as a surface layer.[2] When snow-covered, snowshoe and skiing trails may be groomed.[1] While groomed, pedestrian use may be restricted.[3]

Norway

[edit]

An illuminated track in Oslo, Norway was opened in 1946.

Sweden

[edit]

Most of the floodlit trails were constructed during the 1970s. As of 2019, there are about 1700 illuminated trails in Sweden.[1] A common length of an electric light trail in Sweden is about 2 to 2.5 kilometres (1.2 to 1.6 mi).
