This section crosses the Klubbån river and the drained canal before continuing along paths and forest roads.

It then runs past the remains of Högdal castle and Lahult mill pond, where it crosses Klubbån again, and passes Lahult burial ground before reaching the campsite at Sandsjön. At Gammalsbo, the trail crosses Klubbån for the fourth time and continues through a varied landscape on winding gravel roads up a hill, past farms and Nordsjön lake, before the trail reaches the campsite in Kvarnforsen. 

Degree of difficulty Green

Easy walking on both paved and gravel roads, plus a lovely stretch as far as Sandsjön’s lakeside shelter on a well-trodden path. The route from Rydöbruk up to Lahult is slightly uphill.
