Upplandsleden, etapp 5, Almunge–Södersjön

This is a short and easy-to-walk section for those who don’t mind walking along roads. Apart from one kilometre on a forest path, you’ll walk along small roads.

The section starts at the parking area between roads 273 and 282, next to Almunge’s school, and ends at the beach at Lake Södersjön.

Once you’ve passed the golf course at the beginning of the section, you’ll be surrounded by forests. When you approach Lake Södersjön, you’ll step onto a narrow, tarmacked country road. To begin with, it’s surrounded by pastures, and you’ll have some great views of the lake. At the end of the section, a small, wooden sign will point you down to the beach. It’s a small place with parking space for only a handful of cars. There is a dry toilet and picnic tables.

Difficulty level: Easy, small roads and 1 kilometre on a forest path.
