A stage that goes through forests and pastures past ancient farms and inviting bathing lakes.

From the old mill Tollered, the Gotaleden runs through beautiful, magical forest up towards Råbockekullen. You pass several farms with cows, sheep and horses and after just under 4 km you follow a stone farm to the sheep farm Mysten. If you are lucky, you will meet the Gotland sheep and the lambs in the pastures. The trail goes through one of the pastures, so remember to close the gate behind you so that the animals do not escape.

The stage continues through a mighty coniferous forest down towards Kärrbogärde and Ingared. There are great swimming opportunities here. When you arrive at Norsesund, you can treat yourself to a bite to eat in the old station building.
