A good spot to stop for supplies and a bit of culture while hiking Gotalenden. Plenty of options for food and drink, and don't miss the excellent Industrial History museum.

The town was originally built around Nääs Fabriker, a cotton, wool, and weaving factory established in 1833. The factory closed in 1982, but the town remains one of Sweden's best-preserved industrial settlements.

Beautiful section of the trail through the nature reserve. The biodiversity is particularly varied here, and you may spot kingfishers, white-throated dippers, beavers, salmon, trout, and even moose. The river alternates between rapids in the ravines, and calm, open pools. The dense forest gives the trail a fairytale-like feel.

Hillefors Mill was active between 1898 and 1988. Originally a sawmill and bone-crusher, it was later converted to oat processing. It is now a museum, and you can visit the site to see the still-functioning turbine. This spot is also a great place to observe migrating salmon and eels in the summer.

Nice hill, longer than you might expect x)

The creator of Nolhaga is the entrepreneur Jonas Alströmer, one of the six founders of the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences. He expanded the central building of his estate into a manor house in 1725 and surrounded it with a remarkable garden. Plants from all over the world were brought to Nolhaga and grown under Alströmer's care. After his death, the estate went into slow decline. The railway contractor Claes Adelsköld, who had acquired the estate in 1877, had the dilapidated main building demolished in 1879-1880 and a new one built, a patrician villa in the Italian neo-Renaissance style, designed by the architect Adrian C. Peterson. Adelsköld's villa is now popularly known as Nolhaga Castle. The current park is largely due to Adelsköld's efforts. The area became open to the public when the city of Alingsås acquired the castle and park in 1921. Nolhaga Castle, which has recently been renovated, houses a restaurant.

The 289-meter-long footbridge through the Congo swamp is part of the Nolhagaviken nature reserve. It allows for safe crossing and at the same time protects the special alder bog habitat. The swamp forest area has been called Congo since the 1960s and is a recognized EU Natura 2000 area due to its high natural value. The vegetation consists mainly of birch, alder, hornbeam and ash trees. Many bird species nest here.

Pedestrians and cyclists can use the Mjörnvallsbron to cross the Säveån just before it flows into Lake Mjörn. The bridge connects the Nolhaga recreation area with the "Playa Mjörn" beach. The bridge is curved so high that the yachts in the river port of Alingsås and even the excursion steamer "Herbert" can pass under it. The side walls of the Mjörnvallbron are decorated with graffiti with nature motifs, including the work of art "Avem Organicum".
