Stage 2 - Stensjön - Skatås

Large, and even largest, can be used to describe many things along Stage 2 of the Bohusleden Trail.

Delsjöbadet is the largest freshwater beach in the Göteborg area, and Skatås is the largest exercise centre. Stora Torp is a stone manor house well worth visiting. Kärralund camping is, you guessed it, the largest camping site in Göteborg.

The surface of lake Stora Delsjön is the equivalent of 200 football pitches, which makes it one of the largest lakes. If you are planning to catch your own dinner, you’ll need the yellow fishing permit. The fish are known to be very large!

When you have passed under Road 40 going north, you are in the Delsjöområdet nature reserve in the municipality of Göteborg.

Delsjöbadet is the largest freshwater beach in Göteborg. Café Lyckan is only 150 m from the Bohusleden Trail. Top up your energy supplies with their delicious waffles.

If you make a small detour, past the café and around 1 200 m to the north, you will reach Stora Torp, a stone manor house from 1871. The Association for the Promotion of Outdoor Life arranges activities here including a permanent »Naturum« exhibition.

The Anglers Association has an office in Sjölyckan. Here you can buy fishing permits for waters in and around Göteborg. The Göteborg Rowing Club and Näset Canoe Club have their club houses at lake Stora Delsjön. Canoes can be hired during summer months.

Where the Bohusleden Trail passes the road to Bredaremossen, you can turn off to the west. You will soon reach Delsjökolonin allotments and one of the few stone circles in the Göteborg area. The stone circle is believed to date back to the Iron Age.

If you are not tired out from walking, you can play disc golf at Skatås exercise centre. Alternatively, you can go for a run, have a go at beach volleyball or test the gym. If you just want a rest, you can relax in the restaurant with a cup of coffee and a cake.

A number of jogging tracks start at Skatås, three of them are illuminated. Here is also the Delsjöområdet Nature Hall with displays of the biological diversity and management of the nature reserve.

To the west of Skatås is Kärralund camping and cottage rental. There are two miniature golf courses nearby.
