Beskrivelse

This section, an adventure up hill and down hill, takes you on a forest path along Lake Vällen from Pansarudden’s northern parking area to the River Kolamoraån. The path starts out easy to walk on, but gets narrower closer to the lake. The section to Hallstaviksvägen is on terrain that is rich in boulders and roots, surrounded by lush greenery. You’ll catch glimpses of Lake Vällen. After 1.5 kilometres, you’ll reach a rest spot on a little peninsula.

Eventually, you’ll reach nature reserve Björnsundet, which is also a proper troll forest. After a walk of 4.5 kilometres, once you’ve crossed the Hallstavik Road, the trail lingers on for 1 kilometre along a small gravel road. From the end of the gravel road, you will have 3 kilometres left to the end of the section, where the Lake Vällen turns into River Kolarmoraån. There are two wind shelters by the edge of the river.

Difficulty level: Hard, small paths on flat ground, but sometimes rocky terrain with boulders.
