There is also an alternative trail between Tallnäs and Byarum that is 20 km. Along the trail are information boards about the surrounding nature and historical sites, as well as meditation spots. The trail is open for hiking 1/5-30/9. Cycling is allowed along Munkaleden trail.

Jag sprang leden från Nydala till Byarum. Tog det västra alternativet runt Skillingaryd. Mycket trevlig led och bra skyltat hela vägen. Fanns ett parti mellan Tofteryd och Skillingaryd som i princip gick i terrängen men markeringarna fanns där om man var lite uppmärksam. Underlaget var allt från fina små stigar till asfalt. Trevlig tur och jag hade dessutom tur med vädret!
