Våren 2025; det kan vara svårframkomligt genom Pansaruddens naturreservat då granbarkeborreangrepp gjort att många träd dött som vart efter faller över leden.

Description

The section starts at Bennebol’s mill, and ends at the northern parking area of Pansarudden. Towards the end of the section, you can take a detour and do the Pansarudden Walk (see 8:1) too. 1.5 kilometres of gravel roads take you through the forest, and past nature reserve Dammen, before the trail turns onto a path across some clear-cut areas, and up to Lake Skysjön. After the village of Kobol, the path is narrow, and not well trodden. You’ll walk through slightly rugged forests with big, moss-covered boulders. Here, in nature reserve Pansarudden, parts of the forest are over a hundred years old, and animals such as the ural owl, wood grouse, black grouse and lynx live here. Just before the end of the section, you’ll pass enchanting pond Rudbäcken, where old oak trees stretch their branches out over the water.

Difficulty level: Medium, mostly small forest paths, large boulders towards the end.
