The third stage of the trail starts at the overnight cottage in Lönhult. At first, it follows the highway between Hultsfred and Kristdala to turn off and cross the bridge over the outlet from Nejern. After a short walk, you will find the village of Skinshult, which dates back to the 16th century. The trail follows winding forest roads and forest paths, eventually reaching the beautiful agricultural landscape at the village of Sjöändemåla. The walk continues over the road between Ishult and Kristdala and continues on soft forest paths past Möllekulla village. Soon you will see the large and beautiful lake Tvingens water mirror, make sure to have your swimwear ready because there are great swimming opportunities here. At the outlet of the lake there is a small waterfall at Karlsfors old mill. In the past, there was also a saw, rag paper mill and bone stamp. The hike continues on the path past Lake Storyttern, also here there are good swimming opportunities. The trail passes a boulder area, the largest of which, Påskallesten, is as high as a two-story house. At the eastern end of the lake there are several old house foundations after an old craft village, Ytteryd. The trail continues through the forest. The stage destination is the beautifully situated overnight cottage near the eastern shore of Lake Krokstorp. Shortly before you pass Krokstorp's fine swimming area. The cabin is locked and the key is in the mailbox at the house on the hill just before the cabin.
