Floodlit trail

An floodlit trail (Swedish: Elljusspår) (Norwegian: Lysløype) is an electrically illuminated trail, often completely or partly in a forest.[1]
Trails
During seasons with bare ground the floodlit trails are used for among other jogging and walking. They often take the form of landscaped trails with gravel or woodchips as a surface layer.[2] In wintertime skiing trails are groomed on many of them, if the snow conditions allow it.[1] During this time, when the snow is groomed, jogging and walking is strongly discouraged.[3]
Sweden
Most of the floodlit trails were constructed during the 1970s. As of 2019[update], 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).
