The landscape between Vänern and Vättern is filled with geological sights, historical remains and botanically interesting environments. Most of the book's 52 hikes are within the Platåbergen Geopark – Sweden's first Unesco global geopark. The hikes take you close to the unique plateau mountains that each have their own special character.
During the hikes you will pass steep rock walls, pass fragrant onion groves and blossoming cherry trees. You see remains from the many stone industries and maybe even traces from the Ice Age. You will have great nature experiences and probably a few drops of sweat on your forehead.
Each map in this book is provided with a QR code. Scan the code with the mobile camera and you can easily follow the tour suggestion on the phone.
