Description

This easy-to-walk section goes through a flat and open agricultural landscape, and through the town of Enköping, known for its parks. You’ll start at Härnevi IP’s Sports ground north of Enköping, and finish at the Gånstagården Farm on the southern outskirts of the town. Along paths and forest roads, you’ll walk 4 kilometres before reaching the Äsåsen Ridge, where the Äs Puss Walk (24:1) connects. The hike continues southward along the ridge, past a gravel pit, through forests and fields. Just north of Enköping, a narrow pedestrian bridge takes you high above the E18 motorway. Soon thereafter, there is a detour to Enköping’s train station. You’ll walk a bit further through the forest, past the water tower, and find yourself in the eastern parts of Enköping. Before you reach the end point of the Section south of the Idrottshuset building, you’ll pass Enköping’s water park, a lovely recreation area rich in birds. Enköping has a train station, bus station, shops and restaurants.

Difficulty level: Easy, mostly small roads, through Enköping’s streets and pedestrian paths.
