Description

This section, which starts by Häggeby Church, takes you on a hike across the Skohalvön Peninsula to the magnificent Skokloster Castle. To begin with, you’ll follow the country road for 2 kilometres to the village of Måttan. The trail splits here. The path northward is part of the Skoklosterslingan Walk (31:1), but the main trail continues eastward along Lake Mälaren. Along this part, you’ll walk on paths through rocky and rugged terrain, up on small hills, and down through beach forests. The lush broadleaf forest sometimes allows you a view of the water. You’ll pass two swimming and rest spots, Söderskogen and Ӧsterkvarn, along the way before you reach Skokloster Castle, one of Europe’s foremost baroque palaces. There is a café in the castle, and next to it is Skokloster’s petrol station with a café and grocery shop.

Difficulty level: Medium, country roads and paths, sometimes slightly rugged and rocky.

OBS det finns inte vatten eller tillgång till toalett vid Häggeby kyrka.

Jättemysig men tuff slinga. Kuperad terräng och ibland mycket branta stigningar. Absolut värt svetten i pannan. Rekommenderas, jag gick från Måtta.
