Accommodation & Shopping

Vindskydd Getryggen

With incredible views, Getryggen’s windshelter, with fire pit and benches is a popular stopping point. Much of the terrain is solid rock so pegging a tent maybe a challenge.

Side Trails & Add-ons

This close to the city, there are a lot of trails crossing Bohusleden and as such it can be a challenge to keep on the right trail at times!

 

The Experience

Taking the 512 bus from Liseberg station directly to the start/end of the trail, this is a good 10km hike through forests which won’t stress too many hikers out. There are a decent number of points to stop at with tables or benches and the trail is mostly through wooded terrain though the parts near Skatås are more gravel trails.

Total Distance: 10km
