Description
In Motala,
the Katarina Trail and the Birgitta Trail converge for a final joint day stage
towards Vadstena. This serves as a symbolic reminder of the pilgrimages taken
together by mother and daughter through Europe in the 14th century.
The trail
largely follows gravel roads and asphalt roads but also includes some nature
paths. During the tour, you will experience varied nature. At the edge of
Långvrån's noble deciduous forest, there is an old stone circle that serves as
a suitable rest spot. Be cautious of traffic on the road past Hagebyhöga
Church. According to legend, pilgrims would walk barefoot from here out of
reverence to their pilgrimage destination, Vadstena. (aug 2024)
