Tips from the Community

Luc Gesell
August 5, 2026, Nice green path

Of the entire walk around the lake, this is the most pleasant section. You walk along the lakeshore, with the water on one side and a beautiful row of trees on the other.

Here is a lovely picnic area with tables and benches, set in the middle of a beautiful lawn, right by the water, and shaded by trees. A wonderful green space right in the city.

Stora Ristjärn is the larger of two lakes that can be easily hiked to the south of Landvetter or from Hagalund. Expect to meet other trail users enjoying the surrounding woodland. Its proximity to Gothenburg-Landvetter Airport makes it a great place for keen plane spotters.

This picnic area is located right on the shore of Lake Agntjärn. There is a permanent grill and seating available for your use. The shoreline changes depending on how full the forest lake is.

Just a few steps off the hiking trail, you'll come across a small waterfall cascading over a jagged rock. The access is marked with a sign. It's also worth a visit in winter, because when it gets cold enough, the waterfall turns into an icefall.

The Gallhålan Nature Reserve is located on the eastern edge of Landvetter and protects an oak forest. It was established in 1988 and expanded in 2013 to its current size of 96 hectares. In the summer, numerous trails crisscross the reserve.

A peaceful lake surrounded by forest, Finnsjön is the central highlight of this route. Several access points lead down to the water, where you can take a swim, relax on the rocks or stop at simple picnic spots. The area is well maintained and popular with locals, but still feels quiet—especially in the early morning or evening.
