  • Degree of difficulty

    Blue

This section mostly follows the embankment of the old Bolmenbanan rail line, which operated from 1889 to 1966. The trail runs through the centre of Simlångsdalen, before turning down towards the embankment and passing the old station hamlets of Marbäck and Skedala. At Brogård, the trail turns down to Fylleån, following the river all the way to Hagön and then out onto Östra Stranden beach. The last stretch passes through an industrial area and along the Nissan river to the transport hub Halmstad Resecentrum.

Degree of difficulty Blue

Most of this section runs on the embankment of the old Bolmenbanan rail line. The route here is paved and there are no hills. In Brogård, the trail changes character as it joins the Fylleleden trail, following gravel roads and paths. The trail is quite steep in places, but is mostly an easy walk.
