Description

Section 29 is the beginning of the shortest part of The Uppland Trail. The varied section with a few height variations takes you from Bålsta station to Häggeby Church on the Skohalvön Peninsula. A pedestrian road and then a road take you from the station above the E18 motorway towards nature reserve Granåsen by Lake Lilla Ullfjärden. At the top of the Granåsen Ridge is rest spot Kvarnkojan in a glade. After a few kilometres along forest paths/exercise trails and gravel cycle paths, you’ll reach nature reserve Ekillaåsen. There are several rest spots and places to go swimming here. With Ekillaåsen behind you, you’ll walk past a gravel pit and along the edge of a field. Follow the lines of trees into the forest, and continue along the water to Varpsund with its famous rune stone. Out on the Skohalvön Peninsula, a steep ascent up to the Rölundaåsen Ridge awaits, rewarding you with a grand view. The last section before the end of the section is on a gravel road.

Difficulty level: Easy, except the ascent up to the Rölundaåsen Ridge. Exercise trails, roads and paths.
