STAGE 2, AHLINS - HABO CHURCH

Length: 4.5 km

Terrain: Asphalt

Difficulty: Easy

The road from Fiskebäck's chapel follows the footpath and cycle path to road 195, which is passed in an underpass. Soon afterwards you come to Fiskebäck nature reserve where there is a nice rest area and toilet that is open all year round.

A railway underpass is passed. After a few hundred meters you are on the old country road that goes towards Habo church.

Habo church and its bell tower can be seen from afar on your walk. The current church dates from 1723, but the church still contains furnishings from the previous church. Among other things, a baptismal font from the 13th century, the altar in stone from the 15th century. When the church was rebuilt in the 18th century, a relic box was found in the altar. In the box was a small bone wrapped in red silk and a piece of parchment. Adjacent to the church choir is a stone sacristy from the 12th century where there are some wooden sculptures from the 15th century. Habo church is a large wooden cathedral and is known for its paintings that cover the entire church. The bell tower is from 1760. The roadside church with café is run for a few weeks during the summer in Sockenstugan, opposite the church.
