Stage 5 - Jonsered - Angereds kyrka
Stage 5 offers a walk through a beech forest in the Bokedalen nature reserve. In spring, when the ground is covered by a sea of wood anemones it is stunningly beautiful.
The trail divides into two alternative stretches at Jonsered Manor, meeting up again by the cottage Freden. The inland road, going through the ravine landscape, is a shorter walk of around 20 minutes.
The alternative route follows the shores of lake Aspen. You will walk through a bewitching old forest. The walk to the cottage takes around 45 minutes.
From here the trail continues north over a hanging bridge between the lakes Stora Ramsjön and Lilla Ramsjön, towards Angered.

Jonsered factories (see also Stage 4) were founded during the first half of the 19th century. The difference in altitude between lake Aspen and the river Säveån generated hydro-power for the industries. Sailcloth, fire hoses, cotton products and wool for carpets were some of the things made here. In the engineering workshop, castings and wrought-iron details for threshing-mills were made. Eventually, manufacturing started of the world-famous woodworking machinery and chain saws.
The founder William Gibson bought Jonsered Manor in 1839 and it stayed in the family for over one hundred years. Today, the manor house is rented by Göteborg’s university; literary evenings and seminars are held here.
The Humlebadet beach is embedded in the greenery by lake Aspen. Facilities include a diving tower, kiosk (open during summer months) and toilets.
The cottage Freden, built in 1905, was the home of forestry worker Karl Lindblom. He planted most of the old forest around Freden.
Today, the Association for the Promotion of Outdoor Life runs the cottage. Facilities include wind shelter, toilets and grill area. Coffee and waffles are served on Sundays during autumn and spring.
After the sound between the lakes Stora Ramsjö sand Lilla Ramsjö you can walk up the to top and enjoy wonderful views over Göteborg and Partille.
Lake Smörvattnet offers swimming as well as fishing, for those with a yellow fishing permit.
Skulevattnet is another beautiful small lake.
No one knows exactly how old Angered church is, but experts believe it dates back to the 13th century. It is well worth a visit.
