Nydalaleden Pilgrimage trail

Nydalaleden is a pilgrimage trail that follows the footsteps of the first people to populate Sweden – a road that has been continuously updated and transformed into both the trunk road Riksettan and the E4 motorway. The trail, several stretches of which run parallel to River Lagaån, passes many interesting ancient monuments and lets you discover small picturesque villages as well as forests and meadows. The trail runs from the border of Skåne up to Nydala Abbey, where it joins a larger network of pilgrimage trails. The network still extends from Trondheim in Norway to Santiago de Compostela in Spain.

Visit Nydala Abbey where there is an abbey garden and church stables with basic accommodation. The abbey was founded in 1143 and was named Nova-Vallis by the monks.
