Upplandsleden, etapp 27, Lillkyrka–Veckholm

Section 27 begins at the sports ground in Lillkyrka, and ends at Veckholm Church. It’s an easy-to-walk section through forests and cultural landscapes. For the first kilometre, you’ll follow an exercise trail and Lillkyrka’s ancient trail where signs tell you about burial mounds and other remains. The trail goes to and fro here, so keep track of the markings. Along the exercise trail is a rest spot with a wind shelter and fireplace, and from there, it’s just 500 metres to the next one.

Next come a couple of kilometres worth of hiking along forest paths, across clear-cut areas and flat rocks to Husby. Then, you’ll walk through more built-up areas where the path/road takes you out past fields and summer homes and into the forest.

When the trail finally leaves the forest and winds its way forward between the farms, you’re getting close to Veckholm. Follow the road to get to the end point.

Difficulty level: Easy, exercise trails, forest paths and gravel roads.
