Go on a cozy road trip together

Mem 

Kanalmagasiet in Mem is a cozy place that offers food, have a late breakfast or coffee. You do know that they also arrange weddings and large parties? Dream away about what you would like to celebrate here together.

Söderköping

Enjoy a few hours of spa at Söderköping's Brunn! Or would you rather do something more active; climb Ramunderberget and bring a picnic!

Borensberg

Rent bikes at Kaffeteriet and cycle along the car-free towpath. A few kilometers away is Brunneby Musteri. The monastery is very beautiful right next to Göta Kanal. There is a farm shop and a medieval farm church. Next to the farm shop is Restaurang Bettina. The stretch offers two aqueducts and a beautiful agricultural landscape.

Stay overnight at the cozy Göta Hotel, enjoy a glass of bubbly and a three-course dinner in the evening sun. The next day, you take a long morning of sleep before you steer the journey towards Karlsborg.

Karlsborg

I sommaridyllen Karlsborg kan ni strosa i hamnen och äta lunch. Efter det är möjligheterna många längs vägen, och målet är att se solen gå ner i Sjötorp där Göta kanal möter Vänern.

Besök Hajstorps Slusscafé Att ta en fika invid Göta kanals glittrande vatten är något av det somrigaste som finns. Inne bland de lummiga träden ligger den, en gul före detta brovaktarstuga som numera inrymmer Hajstorp Slusscafé & Vandrarhem. Här sprider sig doften av kaffe och nybakat fikabröd ända ut till uteserveringen, där gästerna sitter under stora parasoll och småpratar i solskenet. Några båtar har lagt till precis utanför fiket i väntan på att få komma igenom slussarna i Hajstorp. Det här är en sommaridyll i ordets rätta bemärkelse.

Continue to Norrqvarns Hotel and Conference. The large, yellow building at Norrkvarn's locks was originally one of the Göta canal's mills. Here there is now a unique facility with accommodation, a restaurant with lovely outdoor seating by the jetty. Have a coffee or something refreshing to drink.

Sjötorp

Sjötorp is Göta Kanal's gateway to, or from, Lake Vänern. In summer, it is a lively community with many visitors and boats that pass the first eight, or last, locks on their journey through the Göta canal. In Here, there are many possibilities for both overnight stays and dinner.

Café Baltzar offers a rustic and cozy interior. Coffee bread, sandwiches, waffles, ice cream and good lunch dishes, plus nice staff! Sale of clothes and furnishings in the adjacent small shop. Great location next to the Göta Canal! Nice to sit here and watch folk life and boats at the lock. The Kanalkrogen is located at the marina down by Vänern's shore and the Göta Canal's first lock in Sjötorp. The restaurant serves home cooking, pizza, hamburgers and à la carte. Pub nights with live entertainment. In the café, you can get sandwiches, ice cream and coffee bread.
