I passed some churches on my latest hike. Rogslösa has an absolutely amazing door, rumored to have been stolen from Fairy Queen Ommas castle, and Öberga had a sort of stone museum with its oldest gravestones. The origin stone chest is displayed on the walls and a stone mason has made a replica complete with the paint fragments that were on it so we can read the runes more easily.

Omberg, Sweden - by Mathias Kilman

In many ways a fail: I brought a hammock and thus naturally walked past perfect tenting spot after perfect tenting spot... Despite being June it was extremely cold and raining most of the time. I broke my phone on the last day. The pilgrim shelter (which is ALWAYS open) where I was supposed to sleep on the third day was locked leading to a planned walk of easy 32km turn into 48 km on that day in the rainstorm. But looking through my camera roll it was a great success. It really is a beautiful path. A lake that stretches to the horizon, forest, a mountain, gothic monastery ruins, so many berries to eat, flowers in bloom, iron age burial mounds, friendly horses, and you pass (read: stop at) an ice cream place every day. I also learned I'm able to walk 12 hours a day with my pack with little to no problems. Will consider walking this trail again in the future.
