Gula Stigen

Gula Stigen - or the yellow trail is a long trail that links the forests and parks in the Uppsala region. The trail passes within 100m of our house and you can take it to the beach to south (which is where we were yesterday) or you can take it north in the city centre. The trail section north to the city passes several horse pastures, meadows, and nice forests and then right into the downtown. It is a 7km hike to the city centre on the trail - 6 of it without crossing a road (the trail goes through tunnels at large road crossings. At this time of year you want to stick the trail as the stinging nettles are out in force. Last night before our game of R0x-zee we hiked (while Mike did lunges to strengthen his knee) to the horse pasture. That was perfect because Emma is reading a book about horses at the moment.
