This stage starts in a beautiful and varied mixed forest. The trail takes you through a lake-rich area of forest and bog land. The first section of the stage, up to lake Västersjön, is quite hilly. By the lake the trail follows the road, from Bistockedalen up to lake Stora Hällbovatten. The trail continues through a flatter forest area, with easy-to-walk tracks and winding paths. In places, you will walk through untouched natural forest.

By lake Djupevatten there is a wind shelter and welcome facilities. This is not only a good place to stop and rest. If you decide to spend the night here, you will enjoy the lovely sunset over the lake to the west.

Towards the end of the stage, between the lake Stora Gunnarsvattnet and Myrtuvan, part of the forest is so-called natural forest. You will experience the feeling of walking through genuine virgin forest.
