Stage 20:2 is one of Upplandsleden's newest stages. The hike starts in Råsbo south of Tärnsjö. There is parking at Nybyggarland, 200 m from the trail. The first part of the hike follows a gravel road and then a path that makes its way up to Masteråsen, a pebble ridge that stretches from south of Lake Mälaren via Heby and Tärnsjö and further north. Signs at some places along the trail tell stories from the past about people who lived on and around the ridge.

After five kilometers of hiking along the ridge, you approach a passage over road 56. It is a large road with a speed limit of 100 km / h. Keep children and dogs under surveillance and pass with great care. Visibility is good in both directions.

East of road 56 the nature changes character. The continuation of the stage up to Huddunge is alternately on a gravel road and along a path through rather bumpy and boulder-rich terrain. The area contains many wetlands, bogs and marshes. Good shoes are recommended when hiking here, and if it is a wet season boots or boots.

The last bit you walk along a residential street through Huddunge. At Huddunge school there is a rest and barbecue area that can be used by the public when the school is not using the site. The stage ends at the parish hall opposite Huddunge church. In Huddunge there is a shop and a bus stop.
