The trail goes through a lake-rich forest landscape. The first section of this stage is challenging, with quite a few steep passages. Paths leading past small lakes and swampy areas will eventually take you to the gravelled road along lake Store Väktor. Here you will find a wind shelter, if you want to overnight.

You can also take an alternative stretch of the North Sea Trail/Bohusleden, past Backamo camping area and the farm Södra fjället.

The trails converge on an old, well-kept cattle path up to the Bredfjället plateau.

On top of the plateau Måröd Lyseberg is a lookout well worth a visit. The view over lake Store Väktor is enchanting.

Backamo has an interesting geology. The area, now a small airfield, is a glacifluvial deposit. Some 14 000 years ago, the inland ice sheet remained still during the period when the plateau was formed. Here is also a camp with youth hostel style accommodation.

The mountain farm Södra fjället dates back several hundred years. There is, for example, a 300-year-old lime tree.

The beautifully situated Bjurvattenshålan and Flågfjället are the remains of old farms.

Bredfjället mountain offers a rich plant and animal life, as well as a special natural and cultural landscape. In the past, cattle grazed here and the land was cultivated to a much greater extent. The Vargfjället farm is one of the last remains of the old agricultural district.

Lindjärn church, by lake Stora Galten, is not really a church at all. According to legend, it is a robber’s den from the 18th century. Here is also a large Bronze Age barrow.

Bukullsjöarna is a nature area to the west of lake Buvattnet, well worth a detour. You will be treated to beautiful views, old forest and white water-lilies in bloom.
