Itinerary
Day 1 Arrive GothenburgYour West Sweden adventure begins in Gothenburg, the gateway to the Bohuslän coast. It is easily accessible by train, plane and bus. Gothenburg Arlanda Airport services many European and Worldwide destinations. From Arlanda, it’s just a 40 minute, easy bus journey to the centre of Gothenburg.
Check into your hotel and wander the city, or relax and prepare for your first day of walking . You’ll have plenty of time to explore the city later in the trip!
A charming, 3* boutique hotel with 32 rooms located in an historical 18th century building. The influence of the sea and port can be felt in the thoughtful design of the rooms, all with a classic Scandinavian edge. Located within walking distance of all the main sites, it’s the perfect base for exploring Gothenburg and its surrounds.

Hotel Royal is one of the oldest hotels in Gothenburg, having been family-run since 1852. They have certainly perfected the art of customer service and a friendly welcome awaits. Centrally located, the hotel as all the amenities needed for a pleasant stay. Enjoy free coffee and tea all day, and delicious cakes in the afternoon!
Hotell Onyxen is centrally located opposite Scandinavium. All room are en-suite and equiped with TV, and free WiFi access.
Catch a morning bus to Norden’s Ark (2 hours), the start of today’s walk. Norden’s Ark is a unique conservation zoo which specialises in the rearing and re-release of endangered and native species, particularly those native to northern climes. It’s well worth a quick visit. Follow the Soteleden trail, a long distance trail and network of paths created by a Norwegian who moved to the area and wanted to inspire the locals to spend more time in nature.
Today’s walk is mostly inland, through forests and fields. Follow the white and blue markers, enjoying the quiet and scents of the forests, and the soft underfoot woodland trails. As you get closer to Bottna, you might notice the smell of the sea in the air, before eventually catching glimpses of it.
Ascent/Descent: 309m/322m
A small independent guesthouse, lovingly renovated by the charming host, Åsa. All rooms have private, ensuite bathrooms. The tranquil location is perfect, and you have a real sense of being ‘off the beaten track’ here. All meals are prepared by Åsa herself, get ready for some delicious, home-cooked food. Åsa is an expert on the local area and even runs ‘Camilla Läckberg Murder Mystery’ tours in nearby Fjällbacka, the home of the famous Nordic Noir books.
Continue on the Soteleden, following woodland paths until you reach the village of Bovallstrand, where the trail joins the coast. Dotted with typically ‘scandi’ wooden houses and an attractive coastline, it’s a perfect place to stop and enjoy a packed lunch. The coastline is mostly rocky with large smooth granite rocks offering a perfect place to rest, especially inviting on warm days when the stone heats up nicely.
Continue to the town of Hunnesbostrand. If there’s some time until the next bus, it’s a great place to enjoy an ice-cream by the harbour. Take the bus to the popular island of Smögen, your base for the next two nights.
Ascent/Descent: 174m/179m
This is an historical hotel, found in a peaceful location about 10 minutes walk from the lively boardwalk of Smögen. The hotel’s 76 rooms are spread over two buildings. There is a spa (extra cost for treatments), a pool, jacuzzi and sauna. Breakfast is buffet-style and very generous with homemade muesli, jams, local cheese, ham, bread, eggs, fruit and veg to name just a few of what’s on offer!
Take the bus to Ramsvik (20 minutes), a beautifully rugged nature reserve. Relatively small at only 5km long and 2.5km wide, it’s a lovely place to spend the day and an interesting contrast from the hustle and bustle of Smögen. Follow a loop walk around the peninsula, enjoying the diverse geology, flora and birdlife as you go.
Alternatively, spend the day at leisure in Smögen. The famous ‘Smögenbryggan’ a 600m-long boardwalk along the harbour, is the perfect place to wile away the day. Take one of the popular Seafood Safaris’ ; help the local fisherman catch mussels, lobsters, crayfish, langoustines and enjoy a them onboard for lunch—it doesn’t get much fresher than that! Seafood safaris are justifiably popular so should be booked well in advance to avoid disappointment.

This morning, sit back, relax and enjoy the scenery as you return to Gothenburg by ferry (40 mins), taxi (30 mins) and train (1.5 hours). Check into your hotel and spend the afternoon stretching your legs through the impressive Botanic Gardens and Änggårdsbergen Nature Reserve. Located just a 20-minute tram ride from the city centre, this unique nature reserve feels a world away from the city. Enjoy a walk around the reserve. You may see the occasional local out for a run or walking the dog, but otherwise, this is part of the town that not many tourists venture to!
