#1: The Confluence from 15 m distance

(visited by Rainer Mautz)

10-May-2018 -- This is the second out of six reports reaching confluence points during a 4-day cycling trip through Sweden (from Stockholm to Stockholm). The story continues from 60°N 18°E.

In the afternoon I reached the second confluence of this day. Although coming from the east, the confluence is best approached from the main road which is running 4 km in the west from Huddunge to Heby. On tiny, but sealed roads I surrounded Lake Nordsjön and soon reached the scattered housing area of Nordsjö (1.5 km from the confluence).

From Nordsjö I continued on forest tracks up to a distance of 320 m, parked my bicycle and went to the confluence on foot. Again there were many water puddles which I didn’t always avoid successfully. As a result I had we shoes again.

The confluence point is located in typical fir forest. There are huge moss- and lichen-overgrown boulders on the confluence point.

After the visit I continued my cycle trip in western direction. I hadn’t planned on visiting another confluence point this day, but the long daylight, sunny weather and lots of motivation made me ride to a third confluence point this day.
