Renovated Section of the Göta Canal

Highlight • Cycleway

Perfect cycle path. The newly renovated part still looks a bit barren at the moment, hopefully nature can do its part too.

June 26, 2024,Schweden MTB: Göta-Kanal: 🚴‍♂️ Mariestad über Sjötorp nach Tätrop - Tag 4

After a great breakfast, we visited Mariestad Cathedral before continuing on.
The path led us through meadows and forests... and lo and behold... the first moose!... yay, I never thought I'd see one.

A little later, we reached Enasa Church and a castle.
