Tracks

Six rou­tes over two days. Ten, twen­ty or for­ty kilo­metres a day, depen­ding on what you want to get out of the week­end. Each rou­te is avai­lab­le as a GPX file for your map­ping app and as a PDF map book that you can print your­self. If you’d pre­fer to have the map book alre­a­dy prin­ted, you can order it for 70 kro­nor and col­lect it on site.

Saturday

The Unknown Gothenburg

A 40-kilo­met­re jour­ney through parts of Gothen­burg that even locals rarely see: Lund­by Old Church, the shipy­ard wor­kers’ Slotts­ber­get, the Klip­pan sugar facto­ry, and the burnt-down pre­de­ces­sor to the city foun­ded by Char­les IX. Parts of the city that are other­wi­se sel­dom visited.

South of Partille

Along the Säveån river to the Jon­se­red facto­ri­es, then up stage 4 of the Bohus­le­den trail and back across the highlands, pas­sing Hind­tjärn and Präst­tjärn on the way. A 20-kilo­met­re rou­te whe­re indust­ri­al histo­ry and the forests of Gothen­burg alter­na­te roughly hal­fway through.

Lexby hills

A short walk west from Home Guard hall, whe­re the gra­vel road soon gives way to pat­hs through the Lex­by hills forest befo­re the rou­te turns back.

Sunday

City walk

A full day explo­ring Gothen­burg, whe­re eve­ry neigh­bour­hood reflects its own cen­tu­ry – from the wooden houses of Lan­da­la Egna­hem to the Hall of Sta­te at Kron­hu­set and the demo­lished area of Lan­da­la, just a hund­red metres away. A long jour­ney through a city that is older than you might think.

North of Partille

A 20-kilo­met­re walk that takes you through the woods north of Par­til­le, past Sur­ketjärn, Grö­na mos­sen and Mör­ke­vatt­net, befo­re stage 5 of the Bohus­le­den trail leads down to the Säveån river and back. A walk whe­re you hear more bird­song than traffic.

Bokedalen

A ten-kilo­met­re rou­te con­si­s­ting main­ly of natu­re reser­ves: through Boke­da­len, along a marked natu­re trail and back. A Sun­day stroll for tho­se who pre­fer the woods to long distances.
