Our Neighbourhood
Nearest Airport: Landvetter Airport - 20 km
Our house is situated in a quiet and peaceful place in the coutryside with a large outdoor balcony and lake view, and only a two minutes walk to a bathing jetty and raft. The forest is even closer, just behind the house, if you want to go hiking in the woods. There are plenty of forest paths for excursions in nature and a number of beautiful lakes nearby. If you want to explore our nearest lake, we have a small rowing boat with oars and electrical outboard motor.
The proximity to urban areas offer the best of both rural and urban life.
You have only 5 km or 8 min by car to Mölnlycke, the nearest urban area with restaurants, several grocery stores, banks, pharmacies, health center, shops, library, cultural center, etc.
Only 16 km or 20 min by car to the city center of Gothenburg, a friendly city on the west coast of Sweden, home to a vibrant cultural scene, world-class restaurants, exciting museums, lots of activities and a fascinating history – all within walking distance from the center. Adventure is never far away, with wide open spaces and magical archipelago islands waiting to be explored.
