Description

Section 7 starts at the district doctor’s clinic on the southern outskirts of Knutby, and ends just before Bennebol’s mill. The varied section passes beautiful lakes and the idyllic mill towns of Vällnora and Bennebol, where many old buildings are preserved.
After around 2 kilometers through the town of Knutby, the trail turns onto a gravel road. You’ll continue across open fields to bird paradise Lake Hosjön. There is a rest spot with a wind shelter. There is a swimming spot 150 meters ahead. You’ll then reach magical pond Stor-Tickuln via forest paths and a long boardwalk. The rest spot at the top of the mountain provides a view of the water lily-covered water. Then, the trail follows forest paths and a tractor/gravel road to Vällnora and on to Bennebol. The Uppland Trail Walk 7:1 through the nature reserve of Hästhagen-Kilholmen starts between Vällnora and Bennebol.

Difficulty level: Medium, forest paths and small roads.

The warning message is present for a possible section of the route. The "road" can be walked without any problems.

Spången vid Hosjön är monterad igen. Lättvandrat. Vattenpumpen är otjänlig enligt lapp april 2025.

Hej! En fråga om vattenpumpen. Är det pumpen vid Vällnora du menar? Fungerar det ändå att ta vatten där, att använda kokat vatten måste väl gå? Jag menar, fungerar fortfarande pumpen även om vattnet nu är otjänligt? mvh Lisel
