20 gems in Borås Sometimes you find that picnic spot, restaurant, courtyard café or shop that you fall in love with and want to return to over and over. Every city has its own little gems; some are better known than others, and the people who know the area best are the locals, of course. That’s why we asked them: what are the gems of Borås? Below is a selection of all the tips we received – places that are well worth a visit!
Mölarp’s Mill and Kröklings Hage Nature Reserve Mölarp’s mill is located along the beautiful river Viskan in the little area of Fristad, north of Borås. Since the sixteenth century, the rivers have been used here to power mills, a saw, and a fulling mill. The area is also home to fascinating ancient relics that will take you back in time. The beautiful and ever-changing Kröklings Hage Nature Reserve is located nearby. This undulating area has a temperate deciduous forest, mixed coniferous forest and a wooded meadow. We suggest a hike between these gems, and why not a picnic surrounded by the beauty of nature?
Sundholmen At the western shore of Lake Tolken outside of Äspered, you will find the beautiful and historically fascinating Sundholmen nature reserve. A lovely, popular swimming beach can also be found here. From there, you can see the island of Holmen, location of the ruins of the old Brahe castle known as Sundholmen. The castle dates to the fifteenth century, but burned down in 1706 during a thunderstorm. Today it is uninhabited, but bats enjoy the old ruins.
