Long but entertaining stage where we will pass through some urban stretch, through fields and forests with beautiful views of lakes. At the beginning of the stage we passed by the Miklagard Golf Club and then we arrived at the church of Klofta, where as in the whole way, we can refill water and put a seal on the credential. From there, the road officially takes us to the right where we will go to a field and crossing a bridge we will follow the Wingerske Kongevei. Actually, it will give us the feeling of being quite round, since after just over a couple of kilometers we will again have the church of Klofta in a straight line. In the spot of Slåttebråtan we enter a beautiful forest that will take us to the town of Jessheim and then to a curious lake of glacial origin from which you can climb, just a few meters, to the hill of Raknahaugen, an ancient burial mound. Arrived at the rather larger lake Nordbytjernet, very animated by the way in the middle of summer, the signal is lost at some point, although it is enough to go around the lake on your right going through the bathing area to then exit to the Trondheimnsvegen road and follow the lane bike. As a curiosity, we will pass by a Buddhist temple that we will leave to our right, where there is no shortage of the most varied and picturesque statues. After the long stretch of the lane, we will arrive at a gas station where we can buy something and refuel water. We return to alternate open areas of countryside and forests, until passing through a farm that offers us a pilgrim resting point. Shortly afterwards, a long stretch of road between forests awaits us and then in an urbanized area already in Mogreina, where our accommodation is at the Risebru farm. Before arriving, however, we will leave the road passing a fence by a step of wooden stairs, starting today, we will find many of them all the way; We surround a beautiful area of marshes and another wooden step on the fence, we arrive at Risebru, an old farm that dates back to 1600. The construction that makes pilgrims' hostel, was the old school, as we can see in the remains of writings and engravings that the alumni left in the woods.
