The water pump at Vika has unfit water. Do not use, either for drinking water or cooking. At Risön there is a water tap that is running during May-October.
Description
The section will take you from Ӧsterbybruk to the farm and cottage of Risön. You’ll start in the historic mill environment, pass an iron age burial ground and a medieval church, and continue on trekking across the wilderness of Florarna, one the biggest unaffected bog areas in the southern half of Sweden.
The hike starts with one kilometre on streets, lit tracks and paths, before the trail splits. Turn left, cross road number 290 and the Filmspången Foot Bridge up towards the village of Film. After a short section along the road northward comfortable forest paths take you to the farm and rest spot Vika. You’re now in Florarna. If you choose the left, easier to walk route through the natural forests and wetlands of the reserve, you should always go straight ahead when the road splits. There are two rest spots along the (sometimes uneven) paths and boardwalks. See more about the eastern section at 12.2. By Risön, there is a fireplace, a parking area, a dry toilet, tent spots, water (in the summer), and an open overnight lodge with two beds.
Difficulty level: Medium, exercise trails and roads at the beginning, then forest paths and boardwalks.

För den som inte gillar att gå i motlut eller nerförsbacke - Österbybruk till Florana! Flackt och vackert. Från Österbybruk upp mot FIlm är kanske den finaste delen av etappen.

Jättefin etapp! En av broarna norr om Film har dock kollapsat delvis och är i akut behov av service, hela ena sidan ligger i vattnet och lutar 45 grader åt sidan. Går att ta sig över. Men bökigt med tung packning, och känns inte helt säkert.
