Gotaleden

Explore the many sights and attractions of the harbour town during an extensive stroll along the little canals and parks located in the beautiful historic centre.

Your initial tour leads you directly from Göteborg to the Outdoor-recreation centre Skatås. After only a few kilometres you reach the Delsjön nature reserve, the largest one of its kind located in the surroundings of Göteborg. After that you pass the Knipeflåg-mountains, a giant plateau, from where the ascent of Mount Getryggen awaits. Enjoy the view onto Göteborg from high up before you continue to the Kåsjön-lakes. Here we recommend a break and a refreshing swim before you reach today’s Day Finish Jonsered, a little village with ample history.

Not far from your hotel you find Jönsered-Gardens. Alongside the amazing botanical gardens, a characteristic Swedish café awaits too. You ascend on lovely paths to Mount Goråsbergen, the ascent features a few steep sections, but you get rewarded with marvellous views across lake Aspen. After that you descend to Lerum, where we recommend a break at the café Aspenäs situated just around the corner from your hotel.

Always following the river Säveån you proceed to the nature reserve with the same name. Enjoy the beautiful route, along the way bird song, salmon in the river and lovely picnic spots await. We also recommend a visit to the sand mill Hillefors, the only mill powered by water worldwide. Again and again, you have the opportunity to observe wild animals such as ducks, fawns or kingfisher during your hiking tour towards Nääs. Please also visit the palace in Nääs before you continue into the little village of Tollered.

For the finale of your holiday the program features once more diverse scenery with opportunies for refreshing swims. Along the shores of Mjörns you reach the Nolhagaviken nature reserve featuring a bountiful bird population. A little later you walk past Nolhaga palace, where you get to visit interesting art exhibitions and the English garden. Shortly after the castle you finally reach Alingsås, the final destination of your holiday, which will impress you with beautiful wooden houses and offering many traditional cafés.
