Stage description

In Fjäras, there is a Tempo supermarket with a fairly good selection of goods. Across the street is a bakery offering a variety of treats. If you’d like, you can visit the church. Just outside of town, there is a museum with an attached restaurant and self-service area.

You can spend the night at the swimming area right on Lake Lygnern. Water is available at the museum, and there are restrooms at the parking lot. 

The trail leads to Äskhult along wide paths. There is a shelter there where you can spend the night, as well as a restroom. A little further up the hill, you’ll find a farm museum with a café. They serve sandwiches, coffee, and cake.

The Hallandsleden remains much the same as usual: wide farm roads alternate with narrow forest trails. The route goes up and down.

For a long stretch, the route runs alongside power lines, which isn't very pleasant.
