Hiking, fishing and outdoor cooking

Sunil has a passion for outdoor life and would love to take you on a hiking or fishing trip outside Gothenburg. His favourite fishing spots are around the lakes near Alingsås. If the weather permits, you might even do some outdoor cooking.

If this sounds like fun day out then get in touch with Sunil and arrange a meeting.

Walk the Gotaleden with company

Gotaleden is a picturesque hiking trail running from Gothenburg to Alingsås. A particularly beautiful part is between Norsesund and Västrabodarna. This section follows the lake shore, past some beautiful houses to a beach. If you’d like some good company for this part of the trail and get some coffee and home baked buns then contact our Local, Anna.

A stainless steel thermos flask stands on a picnic table beside a handmade mug and a cinnamon bun. There is also a brown vase from the 1970s with some bright white and yellow daisies. It must be time for a fika while hiking with a host from Meet the Locals

Hiking, just outside Gothenburg

Just 30 minutes by train from the city you can be in the forest beside Lake Mjörn, West Sweden’s largest lake. Mikael lives here in Norsesund with his family. He is happy to take you out and show you his favourite spots and if the weather allows, your walk ends with cooking sausages and bread over an open fire.

Some burning logs have been placed leaning together in a conical shape and are burning a deep red glow with a small wisp of smoke rising up and a lake in the background. If you have a burning question here are the contact details for Meet the Locals
