Beautiful section of the Gotaleden between Floda and Tollered. The wooden boardwalks leading through the lush green forest seem a world away from the open lakeside scenery just a few hundred metres away.

Cross the bridge here to discover the beautiful Nääs Castle, nestled into the headland over the lake. The building dates from the 17th century, and the interior has been preserved since the death of the last owner in 1898. You can visit the castle as part of a guided tour.

Nice brewery pub and bakery in the old factory in Jonsered. Plus nice views by lake Aspen and Säveån.

Hillefors Mill was active between 1898 and 1988. Originally a sawmill and bone-crusher, it was later converted to oat processing. It is now a museum, and you can visit the site to see the still-functioning turbine. This spot is also a great place to observe migrating salmon and eels in the summer.

Aspenäs Manor is a great place to take a break on your hike. You can grab a bite to eat in the café, wander in the beautiful gardens, and admire the views over the lake. There's even a sauna. The Manor also offers accommodation.

If you want a quick coffee, cake or sandwich, this cosy little gift shop/art gallery/café is pretty nice. Seating available both in and outside, and there are a few flag poles, etc. if you want to lock your bike up whilst you rest.
