The Gotaleden is a beautiful hiking trail stretching between Gothenburg and Alingsås. It follows the rail route, which makes it easy to hop on the train if you only want to walk part of the trail. One particularly scenic section is the stretch between Norsesund and Västra Bodarna – if you know which path to take. I’ll show you a route only a local would know, taking us through Solveden Forest – one of the area’s most beautiful and untouched old-growth forests. It’s a much more scenic path than the one marked by the official signs. We’ll start our walk in Norsesund and finish in Västra Bodarna. From there, you can either continue on foot or take the train back to the starting point. I’ll bring coffee and cinnamon buns for the hike, which takes about 1.5 to 2 hours. or Welcome to our home for a classic Swedish fika – but first, we make the dough! Together, we’ll bake traditional Swedish cinnamon buns. While the dough rises, we’ll take a short walk through our unique old-growth forest – an unusual and ecologically valuable woodland with century-old trees, rich bird and wildlife, and a sense of tranquility that’s hard to find in today’s managed forests. It’s a forest we live close to every day, and we look forward to sharing its magic with you. When we return, we’ll bake the buns and set up fika either in our winter garden or outside in the garden with a view of the lake. Our home is a former sanatorium, now converted into a modern co-housing community with eight apartments – a place where community and closeness to nature are central. The full experience, including baking, the walk, and fika, takes about two hours.

Anna is a wonderful, inspiring person to meet! She's a very warm, friendly and passionate person. I really enjoyed my visit with her and learning how to bake cinnamon buns, a Swedish Fika staple. I highly recommend taking advantage of this opportunity with Anna. Miriam

It has been a great experience! We have loved meeting Anna, her house and cooking kanelbullar with her. We have learned a lot about Sweden by talking to her. Thank you very much! Xavier
