In the south it begins on southernmost Södertörn and runs north-east, crossing Mälaren via Ekerö and Munsö and reaches the mainland at Bålsta.
It then continues across the Uppland landscape and past Uppsala, eventually in the form of Billudden disappearing into the Gävle Bay.
The ridge continues on the seafloor and curves northwest, appearing at Sandarna on the Hälsinge coast.
[3] North of Polacksbacken in Uppsala follows Kronåsen, with a monument to Sten Sture the Elder at its summit.
It is also a preserve at Högsta outside Lövstalöt, as well at the shingle beach Viksta stentorg (due to post-glacial rebound it is now found 70 meters above the sea level and far inland).
