The section starts at the rest area along the highway E6 and then goes along the boardwalk, past the old bath-houses and to the seaside resort of Lyckorna, the Mussel-bar, past Villa Sjötorp and on to the campsite at Lyckorna. 

After the campsite, the trail leaves the shoreline and goes inland on smaller gravel roads. After a couple of kilometers the stage passes the lake Långevattnet. Here the trail takes the south-west direction and continues through the open cultivation landscape, past meadows, fields and old farms.

After a few more kilometers the trail passes Grötån - the border between Uddevalla and Stenungsund. Here the trail becomes a little more hilly and some steeper passages take the hiker up to a larger paved road. The road to Kolhättan goes for about 1 km along a busy motorway before taking off on a smaller gravel road and further down towards Kolhättan's ferry location where the stage ends. 

Here, a more regular bus service runs towards Stenungsund.

From Kolhättan's ferry location, the Kuststigen-trail continues by car-ferry over to Svanesund on Orust.
