Göta Canal, West Sweden
It’s no wonder that the Göta Canal has been voted the Swedish Construction of the Millennium. Along the canal, there’s an incredible amount to experience for the whole family. Cycle or hike along the pedestrian road, and check out all the canal boats being raised by the lock. Maybe you can even be the one to glide on the water in a cruise boat, canoe or kayak?

The table is located in a lush forest grove next to the canal. It is within walking distance of Norrqvarn Hotell & Konferens, which offers really good natural and sustainable food thanks to close cooperation with local producers. The table in Norrqvarn is located between Sweden's two largest lakes, just over 2 hours north-east of Gothenburg.
Besides the fine do-it-yourself dining at The Edible Country, you won’t be short of adventures in West Sweden. The region has a number of nature reserves, walking paths, kayaking and cycling trails. As well as food and drink experiences.

Eating outdoors
Eating in Swedish nature. Swedish forests are filled with edible treats such as berries, mushroom, nettles and other greens, and they are of course best enjoyed in the outdoors.
