Not far from present-day Uppsala lie the ancient ruins of the old settlement which have been used since Viking times.
For centuries, people carried his shrine in procession from Gamla Uppsala to Uppsala, this path turned to become Eric's path and can still be walked all the way to Uppsala. I only walked the first part, which took me along the mounds. At the place where burial sites are supposed to be (I unfortunately never found them), I turned right and took smaller paths to return to the cathedral. In this lovely religious place, built with thick walls, the sunlight plays on the walls inside. The peaceful atmosphere is only disturbed by fighter jets approaching the nearby military airport.
