Bike on the embankment of the old railroad and follow Banvallsleden past the swimming beach. You can also stop by at the side cottage named “Strands jordkula”, which shows how the poor used to live in the 1800s. Follow the signs for Banvallsleden to the larger road towards Vislanda and follow the rail to Åäng. Continue towards Piggaboda, you can also take a longer route to Piggaboda kvarn, the old mill. The trail then continues towards the quarry “Adamstuberg and Hökås”. Continue towards Tesås, where you can take another detour and visit the mansion Sälleberg.
