The Uppland Trail, section 26, 8 km

This nice section, from just outside Boglösa to the village of Lillkyrka, is on the border between the forest and the beautiful farmland south of Enköping. You’ll stay on well-trodden paths. The hike begins by a barn next to road number 520 between Boglösa and Hånningby. There is a parking area 300 metres north along the road, and another one a little further away by the church in Boglösa. After a couple of kilometres on forest paths, the trees thin out. Open farmland stretches out in front of you. Here at the edge of the forest, a lot of big pines grow. The trail now follows the border between the forest and the fields for a long time. Just before Lillkyrka, you’ll pass through the pastures onto the country road, which you’ll follow to the finish point. There is a parking area by the sports ground in the village of Lillkyrka.

Difficulty level: Medium, somewhat rugged, but well-trodden forest paths.
