Bohusleden Walk #3: Lindome-Stensjön (Saturday 01/07-17)

During the rest of June I decided to take a break from walking because I wanted to relax after the school year and I returned to the walks in the beginning of July. I decided to end the break by walking another part of Bohusleden, this time from Lindome to Stensjön (which is the southernmost part of the Bohusleden and it starts at Blåvätterna where Hallandsleden ends). In the morning I got a ride to Stora Barnsjövägen (thus walking a couple kilometers less compared to if I would have taken the bus) and from there I walked 1.2km to Blåvätterna where Bohusleden begins. Then I walked 19km further to reach the bus stop Kristinedal near Stensjön in the northeast part of Mölndal municipality. Thus in total the walk was 20.2km and it took me 6h29mins to complete. Therefore my average speed for this walk was approximately 3.12km/h.
This walk was quite similar in character to the Bohusleden walks between Kåsjön and Angereds Kyrka and between Stensjön and Kåsjön. The walk starts off in the Bunkebo open-air area which is an popular area for outdoor activities in Lindome. This is for the most part an undisturbed forest area (although there are promenade roads). Then the trail continues through a farming area, a short forest area and then south of Tullebosjön it goes through an residential area. Between Tullebosjön and Gunnebo castle the trail goes mostly through footpaths in forests and has a slightly more wild character (although it is once again a quite popular area for open-air activities). I walked this part of the trail quite a bit slower compared to the part between Blåvätterna and Tullebosjön (near Stretered).
Overall there are plenty of lakes on the path and the terrain is beautiful. Enjoy the photos!

Gunnebo slott (Gunnebo castle)
The castle was built at the end of the 1700s and functioned as an exclusive summer house for the wealthy Göteborg tradesman (göteborgsköpsman) John Hall. It is one of the country's best and most stylistically pure example of neoclassical architecture.
Brightened the photo slightly using the levels tool.
