Hiking trails in Bohuslän

In close proximity to the arena, we have natural areas with both forest and cliffs that offer trails up to 4 km long (an extra bonus is a fantastic view from Tjörnbron). One of the trails is the digital tips walk, the 1,3 km X-round that provides both knowledge and the joy of movement.

Our own home hiking trail on Källön (2-4km) is ideal as a half-day trip, preferably together with a lunch stop at Restaurant Move, or a packed lunch at the barbecue area on Källön's southwestern tip. From the viewpoint at Tjörnbron, walk across the strait along the footpath and cycle path on Tjörnbron in the direction of Stenungsund. Once on Källön, turn off the footpath to the right where the trail entrance is. Then follow the orange markings on the cliffs and trees. The trail around Källön is about 2 km, but together with the way back and forth over the bridge to Tjörnbro Arena, the total distance is about 4 km. If you also take the path around Almö Nature Park, the distance is about 5 km.

VETERAN MOUNTAIN
Tjörn's highest peak, stretching majestically 116 meters above sea level. At the foot of the mountain, a sense of adventure embraces you and as you climb higher and higher you are met with an astonishing view that stretches over the sea towards the horizon in the west. On a clear sky, your gaze stretches all the way to Denmark and the beautiful beaches at Skagen. Such a view is not only a sight to admire, but also a reminder of the boundless beauty of nature and the endless possibilities of the vast sea. So bring your curiosity with you and let yourself be enchanted by the breathtaking panoramic view that Vetteberget has to offer. The trail around Vetterberget is about 2,5 km. 

In our shop and reception "The Gateway to Bohuslän" you can get maps and more information about nearby trails.
