Landvetter between lake, culture and nature
Accommodation in Landvetter
Landvetter offers several starting points for planning a trip: church history by the lake, cultural activities, outdoor recreation and cross-country skiing in winter. Consider whether events, nature watching, a training run or a visit to the water best match your interests. The options range from an old parish church to creative workshops and an artificial snow facility for cross-country skiing.

Church and lake
Landvetter kyrka is the oldest of the four parish churches. It stands on the eastern shore of Lake Gröen, which is also known locally as Landvettersjön. Both names refer to the same lake and help make sense of local references to the church and shore. This connects the church’s historical context with its specific lakeside location. Anyone interested in church history or the local landscape will find two distinct aspects to explore together here.
Culture and creative activities
The cultural centre in Landvetter offers family performances, concerts, author visits, talks and exhibitions. It also regularly hosts craft activities and digital design workshops in its studio. There is a choice of both different types of programme and creative studio activities. Music, literature, talks and exhibitions each have their own cultural focus, while the workshops centre on hands-on creativity. If a particular event or format is important to your trip, check the specific dates in advance.
Nature watching and getting around
Landeviparken is home to the first microforest in Härryda Municipality. There, you can see how a fully grown stand of trees develops from very small plants. The focus is therefore not only on the finished woodland, but also on how it grows. This offers a tangible connection with nature for anyone interested in plants and their growth.
Two illuminated training trails start at the OK Landehof clubhouse, northeast of central Landvetter. Each is 2.5 kilometres long. Both trails are therefore the same stated length and have lighting, and they share the same starting point. If you’re planning a training run, you can choose between the two equally long options.
Swimming area and parking information
At Landvettersjön in Landvetter, the car park is about 100 metres from the swimming area. Parking is limited at Pålen on Landvettersjön. These notes apply to the locations specified: an approximate distance is given for the swimming area, while the information for Pålen concerns limited parking. Bear the relevant note in mind when planning a visit to the water.
Garden visits and cross-country skiing in winter
In Bertshult, Sammels Lantgård offers a large garden open to visitors and a greenhouse café. There’s also the option to pick your own bouquets and take walks to the beehives and apple orchards. Visitors can enjoy a range of activities: the garden and café, as well as flower picking or walks. Anyone interested in plants, bees or apple growing will find specific things to explore here.
At Landehofstugan in Landvetter, the OK Landehof club operates an artificial snow facility for cross-country skiing in winter. Its winter operation makes this an explicitly seasonal offering. If you’re thinking of Landvetter as a place for exercise and sport, you can include both the training trails and cross-country skiing as different activity options in your trip plans.
