Hiking with Mikael and Malin a train ride away
We want to show you nature that is easily accessible by public transport from Gothenburg. We’ll go hiking and put some sausages on the barbecue (over an open fire). We could meet at the station in Norsesund and go for a walk of around 2-3 hours through the forest to the lake Mjörn. It is the largest lake in the area and if the weather is good it is great for swimming. We can make walks of different types and lengths depending on your preference. Norsesund is located 30 minutes by commuter train from Gothenburg (towards Alingsås).

Reviews
Our walk in the forest with Mikael acceded all our expectations! We had some fika at a idillic place over looking lake Mjörn. He had prepared some rye bread and cheese sandwiches which we very much enjoyed! Mikael is delightful company and we would love to meet up again with you in the summer to see your vegetable garden!
