Description

The section takes you through varied forests and across bogs between Gimo and Ӧsterbybruk. Along the way, you’ll see remains from the time of the iron mills. From the parking area, you’ll walk along a gravel country road, heading west. After 2.5 kilometres, you’ll turn onto a path, passing a clear-cut area. Once back in the forest, you’ll reach the ruins of the saw mill, and rest spot Sågarbo.

Crossing grounds rich in mushrooms and berries, and another clear-cut area, you’ll reach the wind shelter at the halfway point of the section. You’ll follow a log-driving channel through old peat harvesting ground Glamsmossen and the coniferous forest beyond, passing some great swimming and barbecuing spots. Where the trail splits shortly thereafter, turn left into Ӧsterbybruk and the old mill area. Ӧsterbybruk has a campsite, a shop, a café, restaurants, pizzerias, and accommodation at Wärdshuset.

Difficulty level: Medium, small, easy-to-walk forest paths, a few kilometres on a road.

Som så många andra etappen av Upplandsleden - perfekt att lösa med kollektivtrafiken!
Som Mikael skriver - snårskogen är inte så kul :)
Själv övernattade jag på Gimo Herrgård och gick Dammledenslingan dagen efter - en riktigt fina slinga av Upplandsleden

Jag gick leden 19/8-20 från Österbybruk till Gimo Herrgård. Första deletappen (från Österbybruk sett) fram till vindskyddet är hyfsat trevlig, dock ganska mycket avverkad skog. Glansmossen är vacker och flottningsleden imponerande lång! Efter vindskyddet leds man in i ogenomtränglig snårskog om man följer leden. Ta istället grusvägen fram till Gimo Herrgård.
