The Viking trail part 7 (the same as part 11 of the Upland trail)

From here on, you will walk on woodland paths through lovely areas with wild berries and mushrooms.  On this stretch, you can pick wild berries and follow an old timber-floating canal. You may stop and take a break, let your mind wander at one of the rest spots and simply relax. Enjoy nature. You are walking on the Viking trail and the Uppland trail and you will need to follow signs and directions for “Upplandsleden”. The complementing colour markings for the Viking Trail are dark red and appears together with the cross of St Olav.

After a while, you will reach a rest spot by the ruins of the Sågarbo farm. You will also be able to see what is left of a saw works that Stephan de Geer, the owner of Gimo ironworks, bought in 1663. A bit further on you will come across the ruins of Folkmora farm.

Shortly after Sågarbo, there is another clearance, but here the 1-kilometre path is cleared, which makes for easy walking. On approaching the shelter half-way through this part of the trail, the path crosses an area where the grass grows high in late summer. 

Look for and keep to the trail markings. During summer, the grass along the trail might be high in certain places.
