Vildmarksleden Walk #2: Kåsjön-Skatås (Monday 15/08-16)

Already in the afternoon the next day I returned to finish the rest of Vildmarksleden. The remaining part of Vildmarksleden from Kåsjön to Skatås is 10km but I also walked 0.8km more to get to the Wellandergatan tram station. In total the 10.8km walk took 2h28min and my average speed was thus approximately 4.38km/h (slightly faster than the first part of Vildmarksleden). This was actually the second time I walked this part because I've walked almost the entire Bohusleden and Vildmarksleden happens to overlap with Bohusleden from Maderna to Skatås.
Pretty much the whole walk went through forest terrain and most of it went on gravel roads. It's in general a quite easy walk and it goes through a region which is quite popular for outdoor activities (and thus there are many people on the way (which is a drawback in some ways (for instance it's harder to take photos without people in them))). It was a pretty relaxing and non-demanding walk but it was still interesting. Enjoy the photos!

Stora Kåsjön. Rotated the photo slightly and cropped it. Then I brightened first the forest parts using the levels tool and then brightened the non-sky parts overall using the curves tool and increased the contrast slightly.

Rotated and cropped the photo. Then I used the hue restorer plug-in to get rid of the cyan-ish parts of the sky. Finally I brightened the non-sky parts slightly using the levels tool.

Not far from Stora Kåsjön there's a forest where there are unusually many roots visible.
