Kongo Boardwalk in Nolhagaviken Nature Reserve

Highlight • Trail

The 289-meter-long footbridge through the Congo swamp is part of the Nolhagaviken nature reserve. It allows for safe crossing and at the same time protects the special alder bog habitat. The swamp forest area has been called Congo since the 1960s and is a recognized EU Natura 2000 area due to its high natural value. The vegetation consists mainly of birch, alder, hornbeam and ash trees. Many bird species nest here.

Nolhaga Castle

Highlight • Castle

The creator of Nolhaga is the entrepreneur Jonas Alströmer, one of the six founders of the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences. He expanded the central building of his estate into a manor house in 1725 and surrounded it with a remarkable garden. Plants from all over the world were brought to Nolhaga and grown under Alströmer's care. After his death, the estate went into slow decline. The railway contractor Claes Adelsköld, who had acquired the estate in 1877, had the dilapidated main building demolished in 1879-1880 and a new one built, a patrician villa in the Italian neo-Renaissance style, designed by the architect Adrian C. Peterson. Adelsköld's villa is now popularly known as Nolhaga Castle. The current park is largely due to Adelsköld's efforts. The area became open to the public when the city of Alingsås acquired the castle and park in 1921. Nolhaga Castle, which has recently been renovated, houses a restaurant.
