Sjuhäradsleden Walk #6: Olsfors-Hindås (Saturday 10/09-16)

On Saturday the same week I decided to finish Sjuhäradsleden and so I returned to Olsfors to walk the last remaining part to Hindås (where Sjuhäradsleden connects with Vildmarksleden). In total the walk was roughly 24.4km and took 6h7mins. Thus my average speed was roughly 3.99km/h. Parts of the walk overlap with Knalleleden.
It was certainly a nice/interesting walk which mostly went through the woods with some small scale farm land on the way. Around the middle of the walk when going from Hestra to Gällingsås the character changed to a small scale farming landscape with some idyllically located villages. Not only did the walk mostly go through the woods but a big chunk of it went on trails/paths (which is nice) and the rest mostly on gravel roads. Well, there's not much else to say except that the weather was good and that deer flies kept being an annoyance. I will let the photos tell the rest of the story. Enjoy!

Gesebols Sjö. On the lake there is a ship transporting logs. Rotated and cropped the photo. Then for the non-sky parts I slightly increased the contrast and also increased the brightness using the levels tool.

The photo had low contrast and was pretty bright, so I used the brightness-contrast tool to slightly decrease the brightness and more importantly to increase the contrast quite a bit.

Rotated and cropped the photo.

The water in the lake appears to be slightly green-ish for some reason.
