02 Testeboån  

The Testeboån River was previously used as a floatway. There are signs of this, still visible along the way. The stream runs through a flat forest and marsh landscape, that is sparsely populated and has few roads.

Via the Jädraån River and the Hoforsleden this tour can be extended to Sandviken and Gävle.

Continue from Högbo bruk to Storsjön and Hoforsleden 1-2 via Jädraån and 1 portage (0.5 km), in all 1 km.
