A nice section along the coast and through the cultivated landscape. Stops at a beautifully located swimming area.

After Ammenäs the trail continues south and the impressive cliff on Brattön's eastern side becomes a companion the following kilometers. The trail goes through the cultivation landscape and along the shore, where you can take small detours down to the water.
