After rounding Stora Hornsjön, the trail climbs up to marvellous natural forests. At the hills known as Veddige portar, your legs have to work hard to pass through the Viskadalen valley. The River Viskan, the northernmost river in Halland, runs through this deep valley. The last section of this hike goes along the winding valley of the River Skuttran.
