Mini holiday for families by bicycle!
This is a great tour for families who want to try cycling along the Göta Canal. It’s just the right amount of cycling with plenty of fun adventures along the way!
Start the day by picking up your rental bicycles at Sjötorps cykeluthyrning. They have adult bicycles, children's bicycles in various sizes, and bicycle trailers. If you're coming from further afield, we recommend starting with lunch before you pedal eastwards.
Along the traffic-free towpath, there are several nice rest areas that are perfect for a snack or a drink stop. Hopefully, you’ll see some boats passing by to wave at while you rest your legs.
Stay in a glamping tent - or a hollowed out tree stump!
After about 9 km, you'll arrive in Norrkvarn, where Norrqvarn Hotel &Resort by Vänerport offers several exciting accommodation options. How about a night in a luxurious glamping tent or inside a tree hollow?
The children's mini canal quickly becomes a favourite for both young and old. The water is 20 cm deep, and with boats to borrow, children can navigate through a miniature version of the Göta Canal. On the other side of the canal, by the lock, there’s also a 500-metre-long culture trail that tells the story of Norrkvarn. From there, you can see the culvert that carries water under the canal.
