Description
The hike begins at the beach by Lake Södersjön, and ends at the road into Knutby. It takes you almost exclusively through forest terrain, with only a couple of houses along the way.
After about 500 meters, you’ll reach a meadow. Keep to the right to see where the trail goes. Then, you’ll walk on paths through a varied coniferous forest. After a vast clear-cut area, you’ll reach a section of uneven ground where tall grass grows in the summer.
After about 6 kilometers, you’ll reach Lake Kolsjön, which has a rich bird life. You can make a brief detour to the wind shelter which has a view of the water. You’ll continue along forest and country roads to more paths, first through dense and rocky forests, then more open forests with beautiful flat rocks. The remaining 3 kilometers are along a country road to Knutby.
Difficulty level: Medium, nice paths and a few kilometers on roads.

Sträckan mellan Kråkbäcken och Tunbacken var bitvis igenvuxen, och på vissa ställen var markeringarna svåra att upptäcka. Däremot bjuder etappen mellan Kolsjön och Lilla Söderby på en helt annan upplevelse. Här finns flera vackra partier med orörd skog, stilla natur och gott om blåbär längs vägen.

Vackert med dopp vid Södersjön och äventyr med ”halvnöd”vattenhämtning vid Kolsjön som det slutade med att vi ej behövde använda pga. snälla husägare vid leden (filtreringen hade säkert funkat men onödigt att chansa). Vacker led och fina minnen (juli-25)
