Stage 7 starts at Fontin, one of as many as 16 nature reserves and conservation areas in Kungälv municipality. The North Sea Trail/Bohusleden passes, via the small mere Svarte Mosse, through bird-rich deciduous forests and numerous forested mountain plateaus. This stretch is quite demanding, since the terrain is hilly in places.

After almost a third of the stage, a challenge awaits those with strong legs. If you climb to the top of Aleklätten mountain, you will have reached an altitude of 134 metres above sea level with tremendous views over the surroundings.

The Fontin nature reserve is a much loved outdoor recreation area with a jogging track and footpaths. Kärleksstigen (»The Love Trail«) is especially popular. It follows the ridge towards the river Nordre älv, affording wonderful views over Kungälv, the rivers and Bohus Fortress.

Svarte Mosse is a small mere with water-lilies. A footpath goes round the mere, with signs telling you about wildlife in and around the water. The signs are changed according to the season, five times a year. Here is also an exercise centre and café.

Marieberg Manor was originally owned by the Crown, but became a tax-exempt farm for the nobility during the 17th century. The area surrounding the manor is a nature reserve. Marieberg has ancient farmland with pastures, large deciduous forests and high plateaus. The highest point on the Marieberg plateau is 55–60 metres above sea level.

The top of Aleklätten mountain, 134 metres above sea level and one of the highest points in the municipality, offers fantastic views. In the past, the fortress on the top of the mountain served as an important place of refuge in times of unrest.

It may be time to take a break by lake Romesjön. Just north of the lake is a beautiful and unusual resting place, well worth a stop.

Dalen is another place where you can catch your breath. The community centre comprises several buildings, including a museum.
