About us
Get some rest from the city and enjoy nature along hiking trails around Gothenburg. There are many hiking trails through woods, along lakes and coast, on nearby archipelago, or even through small marsh.
Area around Gothenburg is mostly flat and there are not many hills around, so hiking here is quite easy.
Hikes are chosen in a way that most of them will have a starting point and end point within Göteborg (Västtrafik zone ABC ), so it is easy to access with just public transportation.

Mushroom Hike 11km 🍃
Polhemsplatsen A, Polhemsplatsen, Gothenburg, SE#### Mushroom Hike: Stenared to Jonsered ( 11 km )
####
Description:
Join us for a cozy autumn hike from Stenared to Jonsered where we will combine trail walking with mushroom foraging, lunch, and a refreshing swim!
We will keep the group small so we can easily stay together and have a great group dynamic.### 📍 Meeting Point & Public Transport
- Meeting Place: Polhemsplatsen, Gothenburg
- Meeting Time: 09:20
- Departure: 09:29 on Bus X3 (towards Gråbo via Stenared)
### 🥾 The Route & Schedule
- Trail Map: https://mapy.com/s/hobehuvuse
- Pace: We will walk at a relaxed pace slower than standard hiking times, as we’ll be looking for mushrooms along the trail as we go.
- Mushroom Stops: We will take two dedicated longer breaks and spread out in the forest to search for mushrooms.
- Lunch & Swim: We will also have a break to eat lunch together and take a swim/dip for anyone brave enough!
- Return Trip: We aim to take the 17:22 train from Jonsered back to Gothenburg Central (arriving ~17:37, back home around 18:00). (If we make great time, we might catch the 16:22 train instead).
### ⚠️ Important Rules & Disclaimer
- Self-Responsibility We are no mushroom experts! All foraging and picking is done at your own risk. We will focus on easy-to-identify, well-known edible species such as Porcini (Karl Johan) and Funnel Chanterelles (trattkantareller). If you are unsure about a mushroom, do not eat it!
- Safety & Distance: During the stops, we will spread out into the woods. Please stay within visual/hearing distance of the group so you do not lose your way back to the meeting spot.
### 🎒 What to Bring
- Basket or paper bags for mushrooms (avoid plastic bags!)
- Small knife and/or mushroom brush
- Packed lunch, snacks, and plenty of water
- Swimwear and a small towel (if you'd like to take a swim)
- Comfortable shoes/boots suitable for uneven forest terrain and damp ground
- Weather-appropriate clothing
Looking forward to a great day in the forest together! 🌲🍄
