delsjon

I return often to this place. Mostly for a long walk around the lake and for relaxing in the nature. There is many places to take a bath. And fireplaces scattered around the lake. Also possible to rent a boat and visit a café. Love this place

Delsjön is a beautiful place to take a walk in nature, or swimming in the lake. Easy accessible with tram and a short walk.

Delsjön is a small lake close to Gothenburg. There is a great footpath going round the lake. If you really want to experience the best that Gothenburg has to offer, avoid places that are in the center of the city and enjoy instead the natural beauty that surrounds the city.

i love going there for a walk at any time of year, walking around the lake mostly in forrest. The lake has well maintained footpaths all around it, there are beaches for swimmers and sun bathers and parking areas which are free to use as far as I know ( I never had to pay) You will find benches here and there to sit down and relax while enjoying the views. I suggest good shoes on wet days though.

If you are in Gothenburg, do not miss the Stora Delsjon. I headed for the place hoping to see a sunrise on a cold Swedish winter morning. And it was wonderfully exquisite.Few pointers - if you are using the Vasttrafik app, it tells you that the nearest tram stop is Welandergatan and a 10 min walk. However actually it is Topelsgatan, the next one. The walk from Topelsgatan, is through the jungle among deciduous trees and horse stables in backyards. It was refreshing but strenous. Be prepared. It took me about 20 minutes to reach the stora Delsjon and when I did the sun was coming up on the horizon. It was a mesmerizing sight and the long walk was more than worth it. The lake is surrounded by pine trees and forests. Dont come here in a hurry. Sit, relax and contemplate lazily before you head back.

Take the day of and go out for a walk. Just close to city, a tram away and then you can start your walk, jogging in a forrest with lakes, pétanque, golf and small coffie places. In wintertime can you scating on the lake (be carefull) and in summertime bath and do BBQ , Swedish people even do BBQ in wintertime... but even then .... it´s never feels crowded!

It takes about an hour to do the short round. View are awesome. Don't forget to pay for the parking though.

amazing place only minutes from the centre of Gothenburg. Great for swimming, picnic, a walk, bicycle ride, coffee and in the winter time a x-country ski run.Rent a canoe for a few hours and have a picnic on one of the rock islands.

Amazing lake. It's definitely worth it to walk the two hours around it. Canoes are available for rent, but unfortunately I have never rented one. The lake has a few beaches for swimming or barbecueing, and also a small shed with free firewood provided where you can make a sheltered fire.

loved it! For a hike, kayaking or by bycicle. Great to be out of the city and go around in nature. Great for a picknick along the shore of the lakes.

The lake was absolutely beautiful. I renamed the lake, "Bobbing Head lake" because, as you looked out across the lake, you could see lots of little bobbing heads enjoying the beautiful water.

We rented a Canoe and loved it. The worst thing was that there were four of us and we rented one Canoe and were not able to get seats for two of us. So two had to sit on the bottom of the Canoe and it was very difficult to row from there.

We decided to go find the canoe hire. Not commercial, or highly advertised. We found it after a small detour. Was cheap and friendly. Was a nice way to see some of the area. Plenty of people out running, walking and biking. Shame no bike hire places! We were too tired to explore on foot after an epic paddle :-)

Beautiful location with a lot of variety - perfect for mountain biking at any level or even just a quiet flat weekend ride.

Cozy little lake to go to year-round, for a walk, running or to padla canoe. During the summer you can also swim in the lake. Nice walking trails and a wonderful view.
