Description
The first stage of the Roslagsleden trail is an easy hike and lined with ancient remains. Varied nature surrounds you as you hike in the world's richest region of runestones.
The stage begins near Danderyd Church, dating back to the 15th century, and continues through the nature reserves Rinkebyskogen and Rösjöskogen where the Jarlabanke runestone and the Iron Age cairns in Södersättra are found in the old-growth forest.
From the northern end of lake Rösjön and further towards the farm Hagby gård, the Roslagsleden trail follows the old Viking routes. Around Hagby there are burial grounds from the Iron Age and runestones from the 11th century.
The final part of the stage follows the southern shoreline of lake Vallentunasjön in beautiful nature with more runestones next to the lake and at Broby bro.
You can read more about the Runic Kingdom here.
At the end of the stage is Karby gård, Täby's cultural center, with crafts, exhibitions and a café open on weekends.
For those who want accommodation, there is a campsite next to Rösjöbadet that is open all year round with cabins, glamping tents, restaurant, showers and toilets. At Vallentunasjön is the Såstaholm hotel and restaurant.
In Rinkebyskogen and Rösjöskogen there are several barbecue areas to rest at, some with shelter for overnight stays.

Regulations
The trail is marked by a band of orange painted on the trees. Occasionally signposts also guide the way and give distances. You´ll find an information board at the start and end of every stage.
As a hiker, you have a responsibility to be considerate and helpful to others who share the trail with you and to find out about local regulations that apply where you want to hike.
When you are in the countryside along the Roslagsleden trail, the Right of Public Access applies, which means both obligations and rights for you as a hiker.
Take your trash home with you.
Preferably use the designated toilets and restrooms along the trail. If you need to relieve yourself in nature, move away from the trail and rest areas and choose a spot far from watercourses. Dig a hole, relieve yourself, cover the hole. Bring toilet paper and wipes home in a plastic bag.
Remember to only light fires in official fireplaces. Do not start a fire if there is a fire ban. Here you can find out if there is a fire ban or in the app Brandrisk ute.

Jättetrevlig vandring. Men vill ändå varna andra som kanske går med barn. Vi blev jagade av rätt arga tjurkalvar på ett ställe vid Hagby. Håll uppsikt!
Första etappen är lätt att ta sig till mycket vacker natur o lätt att gå
