This section runs through the centre of Simlångsdalen, over the Fylleån river and along Brearedssjön lake. It then continues through the Danska Fall nature reserve, with its waterfall, and on towards Gårdshult. At Linghult there are clearance cairns and terraced fields, offering glimpses into historical farming methods. You continue on various roads and paths and through Mästocka Ljunghed nature reserve. The trail goes around Björsjö and ends at the Mästocka campsite, which is beautifully situated by the swimming area.

Degree of difficulty Red

This section offers hiking on a variety of roads and paths. There are also some hills, but without any long, steep inclines. Once you leave behind the fields of Gårdshult, the path can be muddy. Under the power line a little further on, you may also need to watch where you put your feet at times.
