Stage 12 - Vassbovik - Glimmingen

Stage 12 is varied and not particularly demanding. The area around the starting point, Vassbovik, is hilly but relatively kind. The trail follows forest tracks and paths that are mostly easy to walk, up to Stenshult. Here you will pass an area criss-crossed by tracks for joggers and skiers. At Stenshult community centre you will find an overnight wind shelter. From here, the trail continues for a few kilometres across open fields, before returning to the forest. This section goes through several captivating stretches of woodland.

Due to the new motorway, the end of this stage deviates from the original route. It now passes straight through Glimmingen motor stadium.

A number of tracks, some illuminated, for joggers and skiers start at Stenshult community centre. Wind shelter available for those wishing to overnight.

Grevesten is an Iron Age grave (around 400 BC–1050 AD). It consists of a stone circle (7 metres in diameter) with a standing stone in the middle.

Glimmingen may seem a strange place to end a stage of the North Sea Trail/Bohusleden. The trail actually goes straight through Glimmingen motor stadium, a world championship motocross arena. You’d better watch out!

The old farm Stämmen now belongs to the Swedish Association for Hunting and Wildlife Management.
