Omschrijving
At one end of this stage is Åsengården with a fantastic view over lake Siljan. At the other end the island Sollerön rises in the middle of the lake, with beaches and camp sites. You walk between these points on winding paths through old and untouched forests. Stop at Mångberg’s chalets to rest in the hut and have a dip in the lake.
In the middle of Sollerön is the church, the school and the parsonage. In the 1930s the vestry was converted to a chapel. There is a statue of the island’s saint Malin, who cared for the sick during the Black Death. Her grave is called Malibambo, “Malin’s church”.
Watch out on the bridge to Sollerön. It is shared by walkers and drivers.
Walk in the footsteps of the pilgrims
Romboleden (Rombo Way) is a pilgrimage route that people began using in the 11th century. The Romboleden is Sweden’s longest pilgrimage route at 900 kilometres long. It starts in Köping in Västmanland and finishes in Trondheim on the Norwegian Atlantic coast. If you walk the entire trail, you will experience a beautiful and varied landscape. You will walk on old chalet paths, over mountains with magnificent vistas and along narrow country gravel roads. You will find easy one-day walks with cafés along the way, and long treks that take several days. The route often passes through small villages.
Would you like to walk with a Pilgrim’s Passport and collect stamps from each stage? The medieval Pilgrim’s Passport allowed a pilgrim to walk in the whole of Europe without being stopped by rules or boundaries. These days it is just a nice memento. The Pilgrim’s Passport can be collected at several stage starting points and from the web page of Rombo Way.
