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).
