Don’t forget to look down. Beneath the bridge, a clear, spring-fed creek flows over mossy stones.

A beautifully preserved private castle dating back to the 16th century. The castle itself is closed to the public, but it occasionally opens for concerts. Nearby, you’ll find Ova Church with stunning ceiling paintings (open May–September) and a small summer café serving waffles on weekends – a perfect stop on your hike.

Artists present their works of art in a beautiful garden. There's also a café. Definitely worth a visit.

In 1020 the construction of a stave church began. However, the Romanesque church as seen today dates from the 12th century and replaced the wooden church. This makes the sacred building in Husaby one of the oldest stone churches in Sweden. In the 14th century the building was decorated with Gothic pointed arches and a century later it received new frescoes. Some of the inventory, such as the pulpit and the altar, have been dated to the 17th century. However, important inventory of the church has been preserved from the Middle Ages: for example, an inscription on the baptismal font from the 13th century, the bishop's throne and some sculptures also come from this era.

Lasse i Berget was called "Sweden's last caveman." Lasse's cave was built directly into the mountainside, walled with limestone slabs. He lived there with Inga. The cave consisted of two small rooms, each with a fireplace. There were also three windows. Loose boards lay on the floor, and the mountain rose up beneath the beds. The roof was made of both the rock overhang and limestone slabs resting against the walls.
