Starting in Vreta, towards Normlösa, it had been about three months since I walked the first stage. Today is my first day of vacation, and although it has been raining quite heavily, I hope the weather will be better in the coming days.
The weather is perfect for walking as it’s not too warm. However, there’s one boring thing – I must walk on asphalt almost all the time. I’m following the Monastery way (Klosterleden), and it’s one of the worst maintained paths I have seen. Walking on asphalt is not enjoyable, and if I’m lucky to walk in nature it’s badly marked and maintained.
I had to go back about two or three kilometers once as it was impossible to know where the path was going. The grass was so high and wet that I got soaked within five minutes. I got lost a couple of times more after that.
I was passing through a rich area of Sweden. It must have been prosperous for a long time as every village could afford to build a church. I didn’t meet many people along the way.
I arrived at Normlösa, and there was a small wood where I decided to stay for the night. Unfortunately, at 9 pm, the rain started to fall.
