The circular stage, which is a part of Göteborgs skärgårdsled and Kuststigen (The Coastal trail), starts at the ferry terminal, and you can follow the markings of Kuststigen along the entire route around the island.

There are also strategically placed resting shelters and barbecue areas at scenic viewpoints, offering perfect spots for relaxing breakes.

The stage consists of a gravel surface and is relatively wide, but some sections consists of rocky terrain and hills, making parts of the hike slightly challenging.
