Gästrikeleden Hemlingby - Högbo

The signposts at the start at Hemlingby says Valbo 13 km and Högbo 27 km - this is very misleading information unfortunatelly - the actual distances are Valbo 21 km and Högbo 36 km. So prepare for a long day.
Most of the trail goes through forests along dirt roads and trails - overall a really nice hike though close to "civilization".
Follow the orange marks at trees, lamp posts and when a new direction, signposts. Over all well marked - except from when you come to a quarry, that has been expanded lately, after about 8 kms it's not easy. But keep right along the dirt roads (having the quarry on your left hand side) you will find the orange markings again some 100 meters before you reach a large power line.
Fast food available at Valbo, before you go through Mackmyra and then through forests to the Mountain Bike arena in Högbo. Last part of the trail coincide with the mountain bike trails.
Food and snacks also available in Högbo Bruk.
We walked this trail mid May, fully possible to hike with hiking shoes, though I had light boots and do not regret it.
Some fresh bear tracks of different kind.
