Today turned out to be a dry day. Consequently the first part of the path was rather difficult to navigate. The path is well grown over. Once this section is completed the path continues on a longer stretch along a lightly used gravel road until reaching Mölltorp. The railroad tracks of the discontinued line to Karlsborg are still visible in Mölltorp. I bought my lunch at the only supermarket in town and took a break at the local Lake Kyrsksjön. Besides a wooden pier of the local swimming area there are also sanitary installations and a faucet for drinking water. Following an extensive lunch break I continued towards Forsvik. This section is easy to walk. On the hill Vaberget is a tall lookout tower. From the top there is a great 360° view. Lake Vättern and Karlsborg are right at ones feet. In Forsvik I went to the youth hostel. Here I could wash my stuff as they have a drier. The next day I wanted to spend with an extensive visit of the industrial museum.
