From Åkulla, the trail follows parts of the old embankment, which used to run between Varberg and Kinnared in Småland. The railway was opened in 1911 and closed 50 years later. The trail enters Falkenberg Municipality and continues on gravel and forest roads and past farms before reaching this stage's campsite in Kogstorp, 4 km before Ullared. Take a detour to the old flax house in Kogstorp, 300 metres from the trail. Continue past the campsite and Musasjön before reaching the bus station in Ullared.
