Walk along the Göta Canal

The beautiful hike

Hiking is a great activity, both on your own and together with others. A hike along the towpaths adjacent to the Göta Canal is a wonderfully tranquil experience, yet never boring. You will come close to the ever-changing natural surroundings, boating life and picturesque little localities in pleasant succession. Your experience will be an even better one if you treat yourself to good fool and sleep in a nice bed at the end of every hiking day.
