Hi Gysbert, another interesting hiking route.
The first time i saw this kasematts i thougt it was a part of air ventilation for the bunkers. As i saw the first kasematts at the very end of Ibboholmen near the bridge to Salthamn. It has make me think of that idea. Yesterday I made a hike from Granthorp over the bridge to Salthamn Church and on my way to Dyviks Udde i came along the kasemattes at the Sandviken Camp. I tried to get in because there was a wooden Door at the back end but you can’t open it. I fired a HEP Bullet at it but nothing other happened that i killed myself

Route 12: Dry Riverbed Route - Click here
I started the run from the Klinte bay and followed the mostly dried-up riverbed all the way to Muskudden Port Dam. I’ve drawn a blue line on the map to show the route.
▼
I would love it irl to really walk over a dry and stoney riverbed.
▼
On the edge of Klinte as I am on the bend some 50 yards before the first Bridge, the sun breaks through. Great, that will liven up the photo’s.
▼
I past the first Bridge. Although there are still patches of water to be found, this part is pretty dry.
▼
At the second bridge there’s water but it’s not very deep. You see the runner under the bridge? He attacked me in the water. Well he tried…
▼
A lot of water here, but still only knee-deep at the deepest spots.
▼
Here the route goes up quite a bit. Hope it’s not too slippery.
▼
In fact the whole gully rises a lot from sea-level to the basin behind the dam.
▼
In the background you can see the elevated railway that comes from Muskudden Port and goes towards the Factory entrance. (RÖ Redovisningskansli Öst) to the left.
▼
Getting closer to the dam. Again there are runners here somewhere, I can hear them. Let’s not alert them, they will spoil this beautiful run for sure.
▼
Still going up.
▼
From where I am standing, underneath the elevated railway, I can see the Dam up ahead.
▼
Ok, a bit more water here. Best stick to the sides.
▼
There it is, the Dam. I’ll have to climb up there. But with my 7% jump boost on my shoes and 5% on my pants, that should be no trouble at all.
▼
Made it.
▼
I’m crossing the dam toward the basin, to have a closer look.
▼
Hmm… I think I can jump down on that ledge. It is under water though. Not sure how much.
▼
Oops, I can just stand here without going under, but there’s no way back up. Well, there is … fast travel or drowning! Anyways, It was a nice scenic route.

Route 13: Harvester Dumping Stations - Click here
Red Harvester Dumping Stations
This route is covering 22 Harvester Dumping Stations locations (aka, Dumping Vaults, Underground Storages, or Red Hatches), where Harvesters go to dump their loot harvest. The vaults can contain all kinds of loot from weapon attachments, to apparel items to help you complete the GZ clothing sets. Dumping stations were also part of the Scout challenges, where you had to loot 30 dumping Stations.
Let’s go, and find some!
Brevikins Camping has 15 dumping stations. I believe we got our first introduction to these red hatches, in the FNIX Rising side-mission “The Hatches”, where we needed to loot three dumping stations at this camping.
▼
Fnix Central Nervous System ♯10011 has 14 dumping stations, but they are no longer accessible after you release the gas and blow the site to kingdom come to finish mission “Good night”. (pic Aesyle)
▼
Ängsnäs Manor has 8 Dumping Stations. Six of which are on this picture.
▼
Knaperänna Frontline Outpost has 6 Dumping Stations.
▼
FNIX Research Facility in the Farmlands has 5 Dumping Stations (-1790, 558), with a lot of ticks.
▼
Found 4 Dumping stations at FNIX research facility on F23 Överby Air base. Which was locked previously, but now it’s open.
▼
Stenungsnäs generator with 4 Dumping Stations nicely in a row.
▼
Then Tokeröd Data Center with 4 Dumping Stations as well.
▼
Säveredsberg Data Center has 3 dumping stations.
▼
I also counted 3 Dumping Stations at Hisings Udde.
▼
And another 3 spread around at Guteby Farm
▼
Location without icon, east of Kalleby on road, with 3 vaults.
▼
Sillavik Dumping Station had 2 of these red dumping Vaults, but after Recon Update it has 3. Also the location changed a bit higher up North, but the map location was not changed.
▼
At the Core Neural Node I also found 2, but not near each other.
▼
And also two vaults at the Hällabacken High Security Prison.
▼
Fiskebäck Docks has 2 as well.
▼
Then Ängnäsberg Data Center with only one Red Dumping Vault.
▼
And Småbåthammen Data Center also has just one.
▼
Three vaults here on Tylöveden mountain.
▼
One vault in the valley between two mountains in theTylöveden range.
▼
And another one vault also in the valley between two mountains in theTylöveden range.
▼
One vault in FNIX cave on South-side of Tylöveden Mountain

Before I lead you through my in-game map route, get ready for a nostalgic journey as we take a look back at the very first map design for GZ that has recently (March '23) been shared with us by our community manager. This amazing view back in time includes interesting real-life reference photos captured by our skilled devs. It’s truly amazing to see how this virtual world has grown and evolved into a masterpiece over the years.

Dear Gysbert you did a huge masterwork collecting all these locations and creating the routes. I love this stuff and it gives the game another dimension. The only thing I regret is the absence of coordinates from these pictures and locations so we can with certain ease trace your routes. But I can imagine this would have been a lot more work. Respect!
1 Like
Thanks Ezekiel. I see your point about the coordinates. Initially I created these routes as photo routes to show what a beautiful world Östertörn is, and it wasn’t my intention for others to really run those routes. So I only noted coordinates of places that I would like to remember where they were. So of Power-lines, Trucks or Signs and such, I didn’t take the coordinates for.
With the last route “In-game Maps” I did add some name location or indication where these maps are located, so that people still have a sense of exploring while being pointed in the right direction, if they want to go there themselves.
Is there any specific route you like the coordinates for, like the “Caves Route” for instance. I can see that those are places people would like to visit.

Indeed mate, especially the “cave locations” that i want to collect. 
To make it easy you can put the coordinates in the specific pictures.
I will add them in the accompanying text next to each picture.
