Description
The route starts at Partille Home Guard hall and takes you via Gamla Lexbyvägen, past Lexbyskolan, to the turning point at the end of Smedjegårdsvägen. There a footpath begins – follow it. Soon you reach a trail with both red and yellow-and-white waymarks. Follow the trail anticlockwise. When the trail splits, follow the red waymarks for about 1.3 km until the yellow-and-white trail crosses your path again. Turn right onto the yellow-and-white trail and follow it anticlockwise. Fairly soon, a green-and-white trail joins the yellow-and-white one. You will follow the green-and-white trail for a good stretch.
You can follow the green-and-white trail clockwise the whole way if you feel like it. But that adds two kilometres beyond what is needed. So keep an eye on the map and take the shortcut that appears on your right. Turn onto it, and after less than 300 metres you rejoin the green-and-white trail and continue clockwise (northwards).
Follow the green-and-white trail past Surketjärn, Gröna mossen and Mörkevattnet. When you come out onto Surketjärnsvägen, the green-and-white trail follows Surketjärnsvägen southwards. You should go the opposite way and follow Surketjärnsvägen eastwards, then northwards, all the way to Lexbydalsvägen.
You have now walked half the route. Half remains. But first stop at our checkpoint and top up supplies.

Description
After the checkpoint you turn onto leg 5 of Bohusleden, which heads off to the left just under 50 metres further down Lexbydalsvägen. Follow it all the way down to Jonsered railway station. From there, follow the footpath along Säveån westwards, walk through Kåhög and then follow Byvägen back to the Home Guard hall.
