It is easy to relax on your trip along the route Vättlefjäll. In the west, Vättlefjäll borders the Göta Älv river valley, in the southwest the Rannebergen and Lövgärdet and in the south the Lärjeån river valley. In the north and east, forest areas in the municipalities of Ale and Lerum connect.

You follow the pilgrimage route Göta Älv river's course through nature and also have several marked paths to choose from. This is a place you can discover multiple times or just return to to catch up with yourself. For canoeists, there are canoe trails and you can spend a day or two on the lakes. Several wind shelters enable resting and spending the night in the open air. When you reach the municipality of Ale in the forests, there is a white marker that takes you towards Björsjöås and its residents. This is a longer detour of nearly 7 km and booking for accommodation is required in advance. Check before for the best information. A fishing license is required in most lakes and in the Göta Älv river. Large areas are protected as nature reserves. You can connect from the south via Storån/Angered and Rannebergen or from the north via Jennylund as a half day stage or as part of your longer hike. Whatever you do, you will enjoy it.
