Stocklycke - Borghamn, Östgötaleden, St. Birgitta Ways

Today you will experience Omberg, a popular excursion destination known for its rich and varied nature and stunning views of Lake Vättern. The Saint Bridget Ways and Östgötaleden coincide and are well-marked.

You can choose between two routes:

• The Western route, which is more demanding with some steep sections and offers views of Lake Vättern.
• The Eastern route, which is easier to walk and provides views of the plain and the bird lake Tåkern.

Both routes are true gems. If you choose the Western route, don’t miss Västra Väggar and perhaps a swim at the pebble beach Älvarumsudde, which also has a windbreak. The Eastern route has a short detour to the Mariadöttrarnas Monastery, which is well worth a visit.

Omberg has many circular trails with different themes if you’re interested; check the information boards.

Make sure there is dinner available where you stay, as shops are scarce.

You can find more information about the trail on Östgötaleden's website
