Nature calling Few cities are surrounded by as much beautiful and varied natural scenery as Borås. Borås is home to Rya Åsar, the most centrally located nature reserve in Sweden, and the city is full of hills that offer dazzling views. The Sjuhärad Trail also passes through town; this 140 km long hiking trail runs through beautiful Sjuhäradsbygden.
Wherever you may be in Borås, you are never far from nature. The area has hundreds of lakes and rivers where you can test your fishing luck. Did you know that there are game fish in these waterways? A fishing permit is required almost everywhere, but it is easy to purchase at several locations. Speaking of water, there are many great places to swim around town. At Almenäs, you can lounge on the kid-friendly beach and enjoy a delicious ice cream or two from the café. If you are on holiday with your dog, we recommend the dog-friendly beach Sjömarken, which also has a great playground for kids. Just north of Borås is Asklandabadet, which has a sandy beach, barbecue sites, a beach volleyball court and a climbing net. For anyone who loves experiences in nature, Borås has plenty to offer. Whether you want to take challenging hikes in the wilderness, a long bike ride or a short daytrip with comfortable accommodation – there is something for everyone here!
