Ingegerdsleden. Etapp 1, (1/2). Storkyrkan Stockholm - Solna kyrka

The Ingegerdsleden trail starts at Storkyrkan. A pilgrimage trail that stretches between Storkyrkan via Sigtuna to Uppsala Cathedral. This stage in the app is part of stage 1 as described in the book.

How to use this guide

With this guide you can walk shorter or longer distances between Stockholm and Uppsala or vice versa.

It is not a general guide to outdoor life, "pilgrim technique" or pilgrim theology.

What distinguishes Ingegerdsleden from many other trails is that it is not marked in the terrain. In the urban areas around Stockholm and Uppsala there are cycling and walking paths, in between the trail follows forest paths or old, crooked country roads and sometimes follows another trail such as Upplandsleden. It is of course easiest if you walk in a group with an experienced "pathfinder", but it should not be necessary.

Bus and train connections are good in these parts. You can therefore use the signpost in many ways:

• Settle for one stage
• Go to Sigtuna, the central destination of the trail, from the south or from the north

(signs are available in both directions)

• Walk the whole route, maybe also a day trip from Sigtuna
• Walk the trail as part of a life project. The idea is that the trail will eventually be part of the European network of pilgrimage routes to Canterbury, Nidaros (Trondheim), Rome and Santiago de Compostela.

The first section is mainly on paved roads and footpaths.

This first stretch is not very hilly.
