Tollered

Resuming our project of running all of Gotaleden together, Anna and I again took the 06:09 a.m. commuter train from Sävenäs, making full use of our summer cards with Västtrafik. 

With the sun already rising later, the colours were simply stunning as we followed the stream through Säveån’s nature reserve to Floda, passing three horses and countless sheep, before stopping at ICA for a second breakfast. After berries and a freshly baked cinnamon bun, we continued to Nääs and Sävelången for some skinny dipping and then all the way up the hill to the cottage belonging to Anna’s colleague Lisa and her family outside Tollered.

Seemingly taken directly from Pettson and Findus, with houses for “mucklor” and everything, it felt like a universe away from Gothenburg city life. Yet, after a lovely fika in their garden and four kilometres of running, we were on bus 533 and soon back with the kids.
