The old stone church in Hallaröd is close to the ancient St: Olof spring of water. The Hallaröd church was built in the 12:th century and is one of the few S:t Olof churches in Sweden.
Just to see the S:t Olof spring is worth the walk (16.5 km). The thought of our ancestors has been visiting this place for almost 1000 years is staggering.
I had a lot of snow and then rain during the walk but I´m still a happy camper!
Thank you Edit, for opening the church and the meeting house, it made me feel really good again after drying up a bit.
On the way down to the Dagstorp lake, I got a first hand experiance on the impact these grotesque forrest machines are leaving in our nature.
In all a very beautiful experiance in the nature of Scania (south of Sweden) and it just has to be breath taking in springtime, with the hills full of birch and beech trees. The knockin from the woodpeckers could be heard clearly.
Periculum in Mora
Ulf S. Sighede from Ängelholm in the south of Sweden. The Walk is for me a modern form of pilgrimage and a time for contemplation. Periculum in mora
