CHOOSE YOUR ADVENTURE

​

Head for the Mountains

It's just a short drive to the beautiful Nature Reserve at Sörknatten which has outstanding views from the mountain top. The area is very hilly and the altitude varies from 50 to 142 meters above sea level. A fairly easy walking trail of about 40 minutes will get you there. From here you can wander along the ridge which is a straight trail. A journey of approximately 2 hours. Sörknatten is known for being one of the recording sites for the film “Ronia, the Robber's Daughter”, written by Astrid Lindgren. It was here she made her famous spring scream.

 

Wander in the Crown Princesses footsteps

Another alternative is the Pilgrim trail. A beautiful hiking trail in Dalsland that begins in Vänersborg and stretches 100 km to Edelskogs church in Åmål. From here you can start your hike at Svankila and follow the trail to Håverud just as the Crown Princess Victoria did on her Royal Wandering tour in 2018. In Håverud you can explore the famous Aqueduct. The aqueduct in Håverud is made of riveted sheets of steel and is one of a kind. What makes the site even more impressive is the fact that both a rail and a road bridge pass over the aqueduct. 

​

Feel the Flow

If you prefer the calm waters of the Dalsland canal are only a short walk from your cabin. Take a canoe and go with the flow. The Dalsland landscape is so uniquely Swedish with an abundance of versatile scenery. You see idyllic situated red cabins, pristine forests, picturesque lock settings and clear mirror like lakes. A trip on the canal is a trip on one of the world’s most beautiful waterways and through a miniature Sweden.

In the evening you will enjoy a delicious meal, admire the amazing sunset and have time to contemplate on the things you have experienced.
